^ INTRODUCTION 

^ Twenty years ago I wrote Glimpses of the Twen- 

iA tietli Century and The Mysteries of God Revealed. 
xS I said I would write an addition in ten years. Time 
has passed very rapidly. Things have not gone as 
fast as I thought they would, but I have some twenty 
years' experiences in life and the study of the Scrip- 
tures. 

A good many things have happened in the last 
twenty years. I am just as full of vim as I was 
twenty years ago and I will never give up till I die. 
I have been discouraged at times. I knov/ the time 
is at hand now to begin this great work; twenty 
years ago I could not have realized I was the one. 
Up to that time I had had no sorrow or grief. I 
have gone through them since ; I can sympathize 
with those who have had sorrow, grief and heart- 
aches. I have had pretty bad ones, but I am ready 
to forgive all. 

I really have been blessed the last eight years in 
the way of finances. I am going to use them and 
give the balance of my life to write things to help 
humanity and for the glory of my Maker. God is 
the maker of all things, except mankind selfishness. 
I can not do enough for our Heavenly Father vv^ho 
has armed me to do His great work. It looks like 
a big job, but God is with me just the same as He 
was with Samuel, David and all his Prophets. He 

3 



speaks to me as He did Saul. 1st Samuel, 28th 
chapter, 6th verse. God speaks to me by dreams 
and His prophets. You might say by the Prophets. 
Whatever the Prophets say to me. I will refer to 
Jeremiah, first chapter, commencing at the fourth 
verse, down to the eleventh verse. 

What kind of a man am I to be ? 2 Samuel, 23rd 
chapter, 3rd verse. God speaks to me by His prophet 
Isaiah in many places. What does Isaiah say about 
me? Chapter 53, verses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Isaiah, Chap- 
ter 52, verses 13, 14, 15. Isaiah, Chapter 60, verse 22. 
Isaiah, Chapter 66, verse, 2. Psalms, Chapter 94, 
verse 17. 

Unless the Lord had been my help my soul had 
almost dwelt in silence. Psalms, 91st chapter. He 
speaks direct to me and no one else. 110 Psalms, 
4th verse. Isaiah, Chapter 2, verses 2, 3, 4. Isaiah, 
Chapter 11, verses 1, 2, 3, 4. 

As I have said. He speaks to me by his Prophet 
Isaiah in many places. Isaiah, Chapter 41, verses 8 
to 17. Isaiah, Chapter 43, verses 1 to 6, 22 to 28; 
Chapter 44, verses 1, 2, 21, 22 and 24; Chapter 45, 
verses 1 to 6 ; Chapter 48, verses 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 
11, 12; Chapter 49, verse 23. 

Now the person He speaks to here is the one the 
Jews are looking for, he is to establish God's King- 
dcm on Earth spoken of in Daniel, Chapter 2, verse 
44. Jeremiah, Chapter 10, verse 16. This person 
will put in operation this great system that will 
bring about the desolation spoken of by Christ and 
Daniel. 

4 



Isaiah speaks of the Desolation. Isaiah, Chapter 
34, verses 10 to 17. 

The Bible speaks of the Great Judgment Day. 
Judgment against who? James, Chapter 5, verses 
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; Ezekiel, Chapter 7, verses 12, 13. 

Judgment is against this Class of People. The 
man that is trying to get something for nothing. 
Who is the Son of Man? The same person as Jacob. 
Christ speaks of him in many places. Some people 
think it is Christ. Christ was the son of a woman, 
not the son of man, but the son of God. Christ said 
He would come again. 

How is he coming? Hebrews, Chapter 10, verse 7. 
People are looking for the second coming of Christ. 
II Corinthians, Chapter 13, verses 1, 2, 3. 

This is the third time He is coming. What does 
Paul say? Since you seek a truth Christ speaking 
in me. What was Paul? Paul was a great medium. 
We find him in a trance some places. All of Paul's 
w^ritings were Christ's work through him (Paul). 
We go back to this one mentioned hundreds of places 
in the Old and Nevf Testament by different names. 
God is going to give him His work to do. What he 
v/ill say is the law direct from God. Let us notice 
a few places given him. What he will do. God 
gives him absolute authority over all his business 
to establish his Kingdom. What does Christ say? 
^'I am come in my Father's name and ye received 
me not. If another come in his own name him ye 
will receive." 

Acts, Chapter 17, 31. Because he hath appointed 

5 



a day which he will judge the world in righteous- 
ness and by that man whom he hath ordained. 
Hebrews, Chapter 2, verses 6, 7, 8 ; Hebrews, Chapter 
3, verse 3 ; Hebrew^s, Chapter 7, verses 24, 25, 26 ; 
Hebrews, Chapter 5, verses 9, 10 ; Matthew, Chapter 
25, verses 31, 32, 33; Isaiah, Chapter 9, verses 6, 7; 
Acts, Chapter 3, verse 24 ; Acts, Chapter 3, verse 22. 

I have said He was coming to judge the wicked 
or rich. I must make it so plain a child can under- 
stand. If I were to write everything and explain 
everything in the Bible it would make a large book, 
but I will only give you the key; anyone can take 
it and read and understand. I have said the Bible 
is a sealed book. If the Bible is a sealed book, why 
should He punish us with Hellfire and Brimstone as 
the preachers preach? God is a merciful God. He 
will punish no one who does not know. We pay 
the penalty for sins when we die. The soul that 
sinneth shall die. What is the soul? Our earthly 
body. The spirit to God that gave it. Let me get 
back to the sealed book. Revelation, Chapter 5, 
verses 2, 3, 4, 5; Colossians, Chapter 1, verse 26; 
Matthew, Chapter 13, verse 35; Daniel, Chapter 12, 
verse 9; Eevelations, Chapter 5, verses 2, 3, 4, 5; 
Daniel, Chapter 12, verse 4. 

He would judge the rich. Luke 6-24 ; Luke 1-53 ; 
James 5, 1 to 7; James 1-10; Jeremiah 17-11; Mark 
10-25 ; Isaiah 24-21 ; Isaiah 5-8, 9. 

Christ came and forgave our sins. Mark 3-28; 
I John 2-12 ; Hebrews 10-17 ; Jeremiah 33-8. 

What is God going to do with Jacob? Jeremiah, 

6 



Chapter 51, verses 19, 20, 21, 22, 23; Ezekiel 3, 17 
to 22. 

As I have said before, I am that man God has 
chosen to carry out His great work and to write 
the law very plain. Mark, Chapter 3, 28-29; Acts 
c, 23; Exodus 23-21; Colossians 3-25. 

I will reprint what Tolstoi said in his prophesy is 
true. Every word except two words. You will note 
in reading it. He wrote it as near as I can find out 
about 1902. Two years before he died. He said 
he was a Mongolian slave. But I am an American 
slave. 

I am the one he wrote about. I had written the 
Glimpses of the Twentieth Century and Mysteries 
of God Eevealed. I could not realize then I was the 
one as the book shows you. Leo Trotzky is the Napo- 
leon of the North. I said I was an American slave. 
Let's see, what was the last curse Moses gave on 
Mt. Horeb ? It is fulfilled now ; we are slaves to the 
money powers, are we not? The man that has his 
money invested in stocks and bonds will not be 
worth the paper they are written on. Deuteronomy 
28-68. 

I said the seventh and eleventh chapters of Daniel 
Avere the prophesies of the United States. I wrote it 
twenty years ago. There were two very important 
prophesies that had not happened then. I did not 
understand them then. After the United States took 
many isles of the sea, when we took the Philippines 
from Spain. Then you will notice Daniel, the 11th 
chapter, we come at the South Country with many 

7 



chariots, horsemen and soldiers and with many ships 
and pass over that war; when we went to Mexico 
we massed our army on the border. Our ships went 
to Vera Cruz somewhere there. 

Then bad tidings from the Bast. Then we sent 
our men to France. 

Next we will come to an end of the United States. 
I said I would write an addition in ten years ; you see 
it took more time than I comprehended it would 
take. I could not write until this world war hap- 
pened. I said this government would come to her 
end. 

I mean the Money Power must come down and 
repudiate the world bonded indebtedness. That is 
what is going to happen. In sixteen years or less we 
are going to win by a free ballot. God will come in 
and obtain the Kingdom Peaceable by equal taxa- 
tion. The man that has his money in stocks and 
bonds and mortgages pays no taxes. But the poor 
man that has a little home is taxed. He has no in- 
come from it. It depreciates in value every year. 
This great day is called the day of restitution. All 
things made equal. Man will get what he produces. 
One man's time is worth no more than another. Do 
you get me? 

I could find many places in the Bible where it 
speaks about the man that gets his dishonest riches. 
I will just give you one. Jeremiah 17-11 ; Jeremiah 
5-26 to 31. Who are they that set traps and snares? 
Private corporation, money power who make laws 
to benefit themselves and then say the Lord is with 

8 



us. Jeremiah 12-12 ; Jeremiah 23-5 ; Habakkuk 2-14 ; 
Zechariah 11-16 ; Malachi 3-1, 2, 3 ; Malachi 3-16. 

This is the Book of Remembrance or the Book of 
Life. This is the book mentioned in Zechariah 5-1, 
2, 3, 4. This book is the curse that goes all over 
the earth. This the book mentioned in Hebrews 10-7, 
Revelation 20-12. The preacher tells us we are 
under the law. Not so; we are not under the 
law, but under grace. Romans 6-14. Now when 
you see the desolation and not a public utility wheel 
roll on the Sabbath day we will have the law. Then 
look out. 

What is the desolation? When you see these pres- 
ent cities desolate. Their great skyscraper business 
buildings, manufacturing plants, great mansions of 
the rich vacant. This is the lesson God is going to 
teach mankind. Then the world will know God and 
will know that God gave me power to write this 
Book of Remembrance. 

It is not the will of God that any one should be 
lost. When we get this great co-operative system 
going of helping one another instead of living off 
of one another every one will get what he produces. 
We will hire those that need work, we will have a 
system of money you cannot steal, you cannot 
gamble it off, you cannot get something for nothing, 
you cannot smoke it up, you cannot buy that which 
has been stolen, you cannot give it away. If it is 
burnt up you can get it again. Then our pretty 
girls will never go wrong. Then every man and 
woman will know their place and a highway will 

9 



be there. Though you are a fool you cannot go 
wrong. Then we will have Heaven on Earth. "What 
is Heaven? Perfectness and happiness where there 
is no sin or sorrow. Hell is just the opposite, sorrow, 
trouble, heartache, going to jail, murder. That is 
all the hell there is. Jonah was in hell when he was 
in the whale's belly; he was in trouble. David said 
God had saved him from the lowest Hell or the worst 
trouble. We all have our Hell, some have more 
than others. There is no Hell or Heaven after death, 
but God has had this Hell fire preached to keep 
these weak-minded people in fear as we teach our 
children to fear. God only meant it for a rod of 
correction. He knew what was best for mankind. 
No one has been lost. 

Now when these prophesies have been fulfilled and 
you see the desolation then we will have the law. 
Then we will be under the law. What will be the 
punishment? I will tell you, dear friends. Revela- 
tion 21-28. All mentioned in this verse, last clause 
in the verse, which is second death. The whole 
world has got to come to the Bible and its teachings. 
On the other hand, the world has got to come to the 
spiritualist idea after death, which is the second 
death, the death of the spirit and you will be no 
more. First death, our body, all have sinned. The 
soul that sinneth shall die ; we all have sinned. 

What is a whore monger? All who commit adul- 
tery, who is not in wedlock, man or woman. God is 
not a blood-thirsty God as some would have Him. 
They will have plenty of warning. You will only 

10 



have to look at these great skyscrapers desolated; 
you will know that God still rules the universe. I 
call your attention to Revelation, Chapter 2, com- 
mencing at the 18th verse. This is the Spiritualist 
church ; notice it is very plain in the 23rd verse. I 
will kill her children with death (second death). 
Now this is worse than Hell fire. 

What is a thief? This takes in a great many 
things. First, the man who does not pay his debts. 
Second, any one who takes something which does 
not belong to him. Any one who causes a loss to 
his neighbor. Any one who makes false promises 
to get money or anything else. Any one who is 
working for another and kills time and does little, 
and does not do what he can. Any one who knows 
about some one else taking something that belongs 
to some one else. Any man or woman who betrays 
one another for the purpose of gifts or money or 
marries for the same is a thief and a robber. In 
case of separation or divorce woman has no right 
to his property before marriage (in the shape of ali- 
mony) ; any one aiding or abetting by the power 
of law to take it is a thief. 

I have defined a thief pretty well, and it is up 
to every one to look out for himself after we have 
the law. II Peter, Chapter 14, 17th verse. For the 
time has come that judgment must begin at the 
house of God, and if it begins first at us what shall 
the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 
Second death, death of the spirit. Blessed is he that 
died before the law was fulfilled of such that has 

11 



part in the first death, cursed is he that partaketh 
of second death. I call your attention to Eevelation 
21-8. Remember, if you do not worship God you 
are worshipping idols, such as land, houses, money, 
women or profession, trade or education; these are 
all idols or other gods you may call them. 

When God sets up his system through his servant 
Jacobj^ He will have no use for the college bred 
man or woman. God is coming to help the poor and 
those that are in bondage to the money power. Isaiah 
25-5, 6. What does God say about His servant 
Jacob? Isaiah 11-1, 2, 3, 4; again Isaiah 14-1, 2. 
My blessing, Isaiah 49-23 : Isaiah 54-17 ; Isaiah 60-22 ; 
Jeremiah 23-4, 5, 6. 

What is a murderer ? Any one who kills a human 
being, when not in defense. No one but God will 
be the judge. Better to lose your body and not 
your spirit. What is the law to the soldier (police- 
man, guard or detective) ? Do violence to no man. 
Mob rule is the worst murder there is. Then take 
warning, dear friends, it is the will of God that no 
man have part in the second judgment (second 
death). Remember, everything will be cut off ac- 
cording to this little book. I have the key to many 
things in the Bible ; they will be made known from 
time to time. 

Now, dear friends, I will ask you to search the 
Scriptures for yourselves. I expect to have a press 
some day, that all the dark questions will be an- 
swered. I might say many things now. Now, 
friends, from the time this great enterprise is set 

12 



up, it will take three and one-half years before 
the world will acknowledge it to be from God. 
Daniel 12-11. What does Jesus say about this man 
when the Comforter shall come? St. John 14, 26; 
chapter 15, 26; chapter 16, 8, 13, 14, 15. 

Even the mysteries which hath been hid for ages 
and from generations, but now is made manifest 
to His saints. Colossi ans 1-26. 

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received 
the knowledge of the truth there remaineth no 
more sacrifice for sin. Hebrev/s 10-26. Judge not 
one against another. Brethren, lest ye be condemned. 
Behold the Judge standeth at the door. James 5-9. 
And when the chief shepherd shall appear ye shall 
receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 
I Peter 5-4. 

Glory be to the Father forever. Amen. 

JACOB M. FRAZER, 
January 13, 1921. The Son of Man.

TOLSTOI'S PROPHECY IS NOW FULFILLED 
A REVELATION 

Given by Count Tolstoi 

This is a revelation of events of a universal char- 
acter, which must shortly come to pass. Their 
spiritual outlines are now before my eyes. I see 
floating upon the surface of the sea of human fate 
the huge silhouette of a nude woman. She is — with 
her beauty, her poise, her smile, her jewels — a super- 
\ enus. Nations rush madly after her, each of them 
eager to attract her especially. But she, like an 
eternal courtesan, flirts with all. In her hair-orna- 
ment of diamonds and rubies is engraved her name : 
** Commercialism." As alluring and bewitching as 
she seems, much destruction and agony follows in 
her wake. Her breath, reeking of sordid trans- 
actions, her voice of metallic character like gold, 
and her look of greed are so much poison to the 
nations who fall victims to her charms. And be- 
hold, she has three gigantic arms with three torches 
of universal corruption in her hand. 

The first torch represents the flame of war, that 
the beautiful courtesan carries from city to city and 
country to country. Patriotism answers with flashes 
of honest flame, but the end is the roar of guns and 
musketry. 

The second torch bears the flame of bigotry and 
hypocrisy. It lights the lamps only in temples and 

14 



on the altars of sacred institutions. It carries the 
seed of falsity and fanaticisms. It kindles the minds 
that are still in the cradles and follows them to their 
graves. 

The third torch is that of the law, that dangerous 
foundation of all unauthentic traditions, which first 
does its fatal work in the family, then sweeps 
through the larger worlds of literature, art and 
statesmanship. 

The great conflagration will start about 1912, set 
by the torch of the first arm in the countries of 
Southeastern Europe. It will develop into a destruc- 
tive calamity in 1913. In that year I see all Europe 
in flames and bleeding. I hear the lamentations of 
huge battle-fields. 

But about the year 1915 a strange figure from 
the North — a new Napoleon — enters the stage of the 
bloody drama. He is a man of little militaristic 
training, a writer or a journalist, but in his grip 
most of Europe will remain until 1925. The end 
of the great calamity will mark a new political era 
for the Old World. There will be left no empires 
and kingdoms, but the world will form a Federation 
of the United States of Nations. There will remain 
only four great giants — the Anglo-Saxons, the 
Latins, the Slavs and the Mongolians. 

After the year 1925 I see a change in religious 
sentiments. The second torch of the courtesan has 
brought about the fall of the church. The ethical 
idea has almost vanished. Humanity is without the 

IS 



moral feeling. But then, a great reformer arises. 
He will clear the world of the relics of monotheism 
and lay the cornerstone of the temple of pantheism. 
God, soul, spirit and immortality will be molten in 
a new furnace, and I see the peaceful beginning of 
an ethical era. The man determined to this mission 
is a Mongolian Slav. He is already walking the earth 
— a man of active affairs. He himself does not now 
realize the mission assigned to him by a superior 
power. 

And behold the flame of the third torch, which 
has already begun to destroy our family relations, 
our standards of art and morals. The relations be- 
tween woman and man is accepted as a prosaic 
partnership of the sexes. Art has become realistic 
degeneracy. Political and religious disturbances 
have shaken the spiritual foundations of all nations. 
Only small spots here and there have remained un- 
touched by those three destructive flames. 

The anti-national wars in Europe, the class war 
of America, and the race wars in Asia have strangled 
progress for half a century. 

But then, in the middle of the century, I see a 
hero of literature and art rising from the ranks of 
the Latins and purging the world of the tedious 
stuff of the obvious. It is the light of Symbolism 
that shall outshine the torch of Commercialism. 

In place of polygamy and monogamy of today, 
there will come a poetogamy — a relation of the sexes 
based fundamentally upon poetic conceptions of life. 

16 



And I see the nations growing wiser, and realizing 
that the alluring woman of their destinies is after 
all nothing but an illusion. 

There will be a time when the world will have 
no use for Annies, Hypocritical Religions and De- 
generate Art. 

Life is evolution, and evolution is development 
from the simple to the more complicated forms of 
the mind and the body. 

I see the passing show of the world-drama in its 
present form, how it fades like the glow of evening 
upon the mountains. One motion of the hand of 
'* Commercialism'* and a new history begins.

BOOK OF LIFE 

A Glimpse of the Twentieth Century 

AND THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED, 
Written December, 1900. 



CHAPTER I. 

I have read a great deal in periodicals and in 
newspapers concerning what the twentieth century 
will bring forth. Science or scheming has done a 
great deal in the last hundred years, but the twen- 
tieth century will bring forth more than the last 
hundred years, and far more brighter to the world. 
What has science done for the people of the world 
the last hundred years? On the one side it has 
brought forth many great inventions to increase 
the wealth of a few. On the other side, it has made 
slaves of human souls and brought pain, sorrow and 
hunger to the laborer. But I tell you, dear reader, 
there will be a grand change this century. 

It seems to me at this age of the world, with so 
much enlightenment, that there should not be so 
much sorrow, pain and hunger. There is more blood- 
shed than there ever was before. Why is it? Just 
think of all of the people that have actually starved 
to death in India in the last eighteen months. India, 
as we all know, belongs to one of the most en- 
lightened nations of the world. What can we think 

18 



of such Christianity as that ? When the missionaries 
made a call for help, America was going to send 
corn and wheat, but no, they said, ^'We want money, 
we have plenty of grain stored away." What do 
you think of people starving to death in the midst 
of plenty? Don't you think it is time for a change? 
Why are we having so much bloodshed at this age 
of the world, with so many Christian nations in this 
great world? It is worse than it was two thousand 
years ago. People did not know any better then, 
and they know less now. It looks that way. It is 
because there are more heathen today than there 
were two thousand years ago. Why is it so? Does 
not the Bible say, ^^They shall wax worse and worse 
until the last days?'' Did not God promise the 
fruits to the man that labored? Are we getting it? 
No, and never will get it until we make a change. 
There will be a grand change in this century. We 
have to let the god of riches alone. We all are like 
sheep that have gone astray. We all come into this 
world equal, we leave it equal, and God wants us 
to be equal here. Are we equal? No, some have 
houses and land, some have none. Some have plenty 
to eat, some have none. Some live in plenty, and 
some are starving to death. What does it all mean? 
It is because we are all serving the god of riches, 
not the God of love. Love our neighbor as ourselves. 
We all want something for nothing, and most get 
nothing. 

What is science ? Science is nothing but scheming 

19 



to get something for nothing. Did not God say we 
should earn our living by the sweat of our brow? 
Who is the honest man? The one that toils or the 
one that lies awake at night thinking and planning 
to beat some one, or make something on a trade 
without labor, or forming trusts and making big 
profits out of the ones that toil? Why have all 
these great inventions been brought about? They 
tell you for the good of the people. It is only for 
the good of a few. Now, the time is coming this 
century when the people will have the good of all 
these inventions. What brought out these inven- 
tions? Nothing but the greed of gain. It was not 
science; it was just scheming, — getting something 
for nothing. We have to stop all this if we expect 
the God of heaven and earth to bless us. We have 
made images out of our work. We bow down to 
them daily. This is why the God of heaven and 
earth has forsaken us. We toil and another reapeth. 
The twentieth century will bring forth to the laborer 
the well earned fruits of his labor, and drink to the 
man that is athirst; rest, joy and peace and happi- 
ness to mankind. 

It seems to me the world has gone astray. Why 
has God forsaken us? Because we have forsaken 
Him. We must return to Him. Who is to lead us 
back? We are to turn back ourselves. Let the god 
of riches alone. Does not the Bible tell us, ''Give 
to no man who is not worthy of his hire?" Who 
are they? Any man who is able to earn his living 
by the sweat of his brow. The preacher, doctor, 

20 



lawyer, merchant, mechanic and all speculators — 
the ones who are trying to make money by their 
smartness. Their images have made them better 
than anybody else. Their time is worth no more 
than anybody else's. "We have to get rid of this 
image before God will help us. The time is coming 
in the twentieth century when we will receive the 
same pay for labor. We are bowing down to some 
one's image every time we patronize them. Does 
not God forbid us to bow down to any other image 
than the God of heaven and earth? The time is 
coming in the twentieth century when we will not 
bow down to the preacher, doctor, lawyer, mer- 
chant or the speculator. My God, hasten it on soon ! 
The time is coming in the twentieth century that 
everybody will acknowledge the great God of heaven 
and earth, the Creator of all things. The twentieth 
century will create all things anew. The old way 
will pass away and the people will have new ways. 
The time is coming in this century when mankind 
will not hunger or thirst any more. AVill not this 
be a perfect heaven on earth? Do we not read in 
Revelations that there is to be a new heaven and a 
new earth ? The old ways will pass away and things 
will become new. The time is coming in the twen- 
tieth century when the people will own everything. 
The people will enjoy all the great inventions. We 
will not have to pay tribute to Caesar any more. 
This will be a happy world to live in then, when 
every man does his share of work. The time is 
coming in this twentieth century when the rich man 

21 



will have to do his own wotk, or die in his own 
filth. The time is coming in the twentieth century 
when gold and silver will not buy bread or things 
to eat, houses nor land. What a terrible time this 
will be to the rich ! Blessed be the poor ! they shall 
see peace and happiness on this earth. The rich will 
hide away in everlasting scorn. They shall see 
their sins heaped upon them whereby they have got 
their dishonest gains. They have sold human souls 
for gain. They have laid snares for little children 
and have fallen therein themselves. In that day 
they shall know there is a God of heaven and earth 
and a creator of all things. May the time hasten 
on that we may all know that there is a God of 
heaven and earth! As we read the prophets in the 
Bible, they tell us we will know the Lord of heaven 
and earth in that day. What day? In the day of 
trouble, when that great day of desolation spoken 
of in Daniel the Prophet (last chapter of Daniel) 
shall come. Oh, what foolishness to gain the whole 
world and lose thine own soul! The Bible tells us 
it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a 
needle than it is for a rich man to enter the king- 
dom of heaven. This is in plain words from Jesus 
direct, and how the ministry try to get around it ! 
Why do they try to whip around the stump? Why 
don't they preach Christ? They are so afraid the 
rich man would not uphold them. Does not Christ 
tell us that he who tries to get in by some other way 
is a thief? The Bible warns the rich man all the 
way through it in different language. 

22 



Are you ready for the second coming of Christ, 
are you ready? Read James, fifth chapter, first six 



verses : 



Go to now, you rich man, weep and howl for 
your miseries that shall come upon you. 

'^Your riches are corrupted, and your garments 
are moth-eaten. 

^'Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust 
of them shall be a witness against you, and shall 
eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped 
treasure together for the last days. 

'^Behold, the hire of the labourers which have 
reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back 
by fraud, crieth; and the cries of them which have 
reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of 
Sabaoth. 

''Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth and been 
wanton ; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day 
of slaughter. 

''Ye have condemned and killed the just; and 
he doth not resist you." 

In the twentieth century the churches of all de- 
nominations will all pass out of existence. What a 
terrible day that Avill be ! The church that is sup- 
posed to have the candlestick or the light of the 
world. Why is such a calamity to come upon the 
church? Because they have made merchandise out 
of God's Holy Word. They do not preach Christ. 
Read Revelation, second chapter, first six verses: 

"Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; 
These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars 

23 



in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the 
seven golden candlesticks; 

*^I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy 
patience, and how thou canst not bear them which 
are evil; and thou hast tried them which say they 
are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars ; 

''And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my 
name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 

''Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, be- 
cause thou hast left thy first love. 

"Remember, therefore, from whence thou art 
fallen and repent, and do the first works; or else I 
will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy 
candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 

"But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds 
of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate." 

Now, dear readers, I want to state right here that 
I am not an educated man or writer, or any smarter 
than any one else, and do not ask you to believe all 
I say until these things have come to pass. I am 
not a Bible student, but by some means or other I 
have taken up this subject. At present I am not 
able to get around very fast. I just thought why 
could I not write a book on this question, but I 
think if you are a Christian and are not trying to 
make a living out of your Christianity, you will think 
somewhat as I do. I do not mean to ridicule the 
church or anybody. I am simply going to write 
the plain facts of the Bible as I see them. But it 
does seem to me if I were a great preacher I would 
preach differently from what our ministers do. I 

24 



only wish I had an education so I could write a 
book that was worth reading. Of course if I do get 
up something in the shape of a book, I do it partly 
to make an honest living, and I will assure you I 
will put all into this great work to bring about my 
ideas. 

I have left my subject somewhat, but I hope you 
will excuse me for taking up a few lines about my- 
self. But you know if you have read novels or any 
kind of literature, they make it just as long as they 
possibly can. I know I could tell it all by using 
just about one-quarter as many words as I have 
used, but such is life in the far west. 

Now, I am going to give you my views on some 
portions of the Bible. I hope you will pardon me 
if I think differently from you. Now, as to that 
part of Revelation which I have written down — 
chapter two, the first six verses — the first Christian 
church was the only church in those days. The 
different denominations sprang from it. There is 
only one church in my estimation and that is spoken 
of in Revelation, third chapter, eighth verse. Now, 
as we read Revelation, it says: ^''It must shortly 
come to pass." Now, as to this first church spoken 
of in Revelation, second chapter, first verse, it is 
supposed to have the light of the world. Christ 
says : ''Repent, or I will take thy candle stick away 
from that church. Repent and return unto thy first 
love.'' What is ''the first love?" You must preach 
Christ for the love of Christ, not for the love of 
money. We used to have ministers who would work 

25 



all the week and preach on Sunday for the love of 
Christ. The idea that this or that church is right 
and all the rest are wrong, is all bosh. There is to 
be no favored church. In that day everybody wor- 
ships God from his own place. Now, taking the 
facts — He is going to do away with all churches. 
The so-called churches have made an image out of 
the gospel of Christ. They have made merchandise 
out of God's law. Too many are trying to make a 
living out of it. That is why God is going to do 
away with the churches. But I do not ask you to 
believe me until you see it come to pass; then you 
will think of these things. I have other reasons for 
thinking He is going to do away with the churches. 
We have four other beliefs that are general. There 
are none of them right. Any one who loves his 
neighbor as he does himself, whether he belongs to 
some church or not — if he is an infidel and has 
charity for those in need, that is the spirit God 
wants us all to have. 

Now, God is going to establish His church in the 
twentieth century, to which all Christians, infidels, 
spiritualists, Jews and all others will belong. "Will 
not that be a glorious day? Now, as to the Bible, I 
believe all of it. I compare the Bible to a work- 
shop ; everything has its place when needed. Isaiah, 
the prophet, reads as though at some time or other 
He will raise up a great servant who is to explain 
all the dark sayings. 

I will not dwell upon the churches too long. I 
will give one other reason why God is going to do 

26 



away with the churches. "We know the Jews were 
the favored ones at one time, and they think so yet. 
Now, the Christian churches think they are the fa- 
vored ones. But not so. No one should believe 
that he is going to be the favored one. AVhen this 
good servant comes, he is going to make all things 
new. He will take some of all beliefs and put them 
together so we all will have some of our ideas cor- 
rect. I may give some more ideas why the church 
is going to be done av/^ay with later on. 

I will take up the next church in Asia and give 
you some ideas about it. But it is not altogether 
clear just what it is. Revelation, second chapter, 
eighth verse : 

'^And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna 
write: These things saith the First and the Last, 
which was dead, and is alive; 

^^I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty 
(but thou art rich), and I know the blasphemy of 
them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are 
the synagogue of Satan. 

'^Fear none of those things which thou shalt suf- 
fer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into 
prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have 
tribulation ten days; be thou faithful unto death, 
and I will give thee a crown of life." 

This is the Jewish church. Now, you see, God 
only asked them to be faithful unto death and He 
will give them a crown of life. They are partly 
right ; there are none of them lost, if they did crucify 
Jesus. Did not Jesus say on the cross, '^They know 

27 



not what they do?" It had to be so, that the Scrip- 
tures might be fulfilled. Now, if God made them 
so that they had to crucify Jesus, do you suppose 
God is going to put them into everlasting punish- 
ment? Do not think it for a minute. God is an 
almighty merciful God. He will punish no one who 
does not know these things. It looks as though the 
Jews did know. They are not to know until the last 
days and then they will know all things. Now, the 
Jews are looking for that great servant who is to 
establish God's kingdom on this earth. Ah! dear 
friends, God is going to establish that great king- 
dom in the twentieth century. This kingdom that 
He is going to establish is not going to be like the 
Jews would have it. It will be a kingdom for the 
poor. Did not Christ do everything He could do 
for the poor and afflicted? He will receive the poor 
first this time, or the poor will receive Him first, this 
time when He comes. I am afraid some of our Chris- 
tian friends will be sadly disappointed when He 
comes the second time. They think they will be the 
only ones who will be saved. Did not Jesus go to 
prepare a place for us all? He died for all. We 
were not to know these things until the last days. 
If there is a veil over the Bible, we are not to 
blame for our sins. God made us this way. Do 
you suppose if He made us to sin that He is going 
to punish us? Christ died for all of our sins. We 
do not have to bow down to any church to be saved. 
Now, God is going to take away all these wicked 
ways of the world in the twentieth century. He is 

28 



going to open the prison doors and let the world 
know that He is the God of heaven and earth, in 
the twentieth century, and every knee shall bow 
down to Him. 

I will take up the third church in Asia. It seems 
to be the largest church of all — what the Christian 
churches term the heathen doctrine of Buddhism — 
that worship idols made with hands, such as the 
Chinese joss or god; or worldly people, I would 
call it, who worship money, houses and land and 
so on. Revelation, second chapter, twelfth verse: 

''And to the angel of the church of Pergamos 
write: These things saith he which hath the sharp 
sword with two edges; 

''I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, 
even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast 
my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in 
those days wherein Antipas w^as my faithful 
martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan 
dwelleth. 

''But I have a few things against thee, because 
thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of 
Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock 
before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed 
unto idols, and to commit fornication. 

"So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine 
of the Nicolaitanes, w^hich thing I hate.'' 

I cannot say much about this church. God does 
not say He will punish them. He only asks them 
to repent. They do not deny God, but they run 
after things of this world. They believe in charity. 

29 



Now, the fourth church in Asia has spiritualism 
as a belief. Read it carefully and see if you do not 
believe as I do about it. Now, spiritualism is handed 
down to us in the Bible. "What for? It is the only 
place that teaches us that there is a hereafter. It 
shows us that we have a life beyond the grave. 
Now, when we die we all go to the spirit world. 
The spiritualists drop it there and go no farther. 
They deny God Almighty. God is not going to 
punish them. Revelation, second chapter, eighteenth 
verse : 

**And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira 
write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath 
his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are 
like fine brass ; 

*'I know thy works, and charity, and service, and 
faith, and thy patience, and thy works ; and the last 
to be more than the first. 

''Notwithstanding I have a few things against 
thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, 
which calleth herself a medium, to teach and to 
seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to 
eat things sacrificed unto idols. 

''And I gave her space to repent of her fornica- 
tion; and she repented not. 

"Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them 
that commit adultery with her into great tribula- 
tion, except they repent of their deeds. 

"I will kill her spirits with death: and all the 
churches shall know that I am he which searcheth 

30 



the reins and hearts ; and I will give unto every one 
of you according to your works. 

''But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thya- 
tira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which 
have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak ; 
I will put upon you none other burden. 

''But that which ye have already hold fast till 1 
come. 

"And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works 
unto the end, to him will I give power over the na- 
tions : 

"And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as 
the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to 
shivers : even as I received of my Father. 

"And I will give him the morning star.'' 

This church, or spiritualistic belief I call it, has 
great charity. Everybody knows it to be a fact. 
Some of the great learned men of these times say 
there is something to it. They have a perfect right 
to their belief. They get it from the Bible. Now, 
Jesus wants them to hold fast until He comes. He 
will put no other burden upon them, and I fairly 
believe when we all acknowledge God to be the God 
of heaven and earth, we will be able to see them 
that have gone on before. Will not it be a heaven 
on earth? 

In reading about this church, we find these words, 
"He that overcometh, will I give the morning star.'' 
"What does that mean? He shall rule all nations 
wdth a rod of iron. It seems as though this great 
servant spoken of in Isaiah wdll come out of that 

31 



church. He will tell us all things. He is coming in 
the twentieth century. Do you think you will get 
to see him? I wonder if he will think he is any 
better than anybody else? Eead Isaiah and see what 
kind of a man he is to be. Commence at the forty- 
third chapter of Isaiah. See what he shall do. He 
will open the prison doors and publish the good 
tidings of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will loose the 
seals on the Bible (Lamb's Book of Life), spoken 
of in Eevelation. 

The fifth church in Asia is the wicked man in 
sight of the people. See Revelation, third chapter, 
first verse: 

''And unto the angel of the church in Sardis 
write: These things saith he that hath the seven 
Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy 
works, that thou hast a name, that thou livest, and 
art dead. 

''Be w^atchful and strengthen the things which 
remain, that are ready to die ; for I have not found 
thy works perfect before God. 

"Remember therefore how thou hast received and 
heard; and hold fast and repent. If therefore thou 
shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and 
thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon 
thee. 

"Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which 
have not defiled their garments ; and they shall walk 
with me in white; for they are worthy. 

"He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed 
in w^hite raiment; and I Avill not blot out his name 

32 



out of the book of life, but I will confess his name 
before my Father, and before his angels/' 

The Christian churches say the wicked man will 
be punished and will have no part in heaven. Now, 
let us look at what Moses said on Mt. Horeb, Deute- 
ronomy, twenty-ninth chapter, fourth verse: 

^^Yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to 
perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto 
this day. ' ' • j 

Now, if God made us not to understand, is He 
going to punish the wicked? If He does He is not 
a merciful God. Now, Ephraim represents the 
mcked man in the sight of man. Read Hosea. This 
book represents the Avicked in sight of man. What 
does he say about them? See Hosea, seventh chap- 
ter, last part of the thirteenth verse: ^^I have re- 
deemed them.'' What do you think now? Jesus 
died for the sins of the world. Jesus said, ^^I will 
ransom them from the power of the grave," and 
again, ^^I will redeem them from death," and ^^I 
will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely 
for mine anger is turned away from them." Have 
you ever considered what made men wicked, — what 
is the cause of it all? We call them criminals. Now, 
we will take a boy, for instance — he is an orphan; 
he goes to the orphans' home; he gets to the age 
of about twelve years; then they try to make him 
earn his living ; they probably thrash him ; he runs 
away ; he gets to town ; he gets hungry ; he begs for 
something to eat ; maybe they will give him a crust 
of bread and maybe not; he strikes a rich man's 

33 



place; they call the police; away he goes to jail; 
then they send him to the reform school; then he 
begins to hate everybody; he runs away again; he 
does not beg this time — he steals to get something 
to eat; away he goes to the penitentiary; he tries 
to get away and kills an officer ; then he is hanged. 
Is he then a wicked man? He is not a wicked man 
in sight of God. Who is the wicked one? I think 
it is the one that called the police. What caused 
the boy to be an orphan? Suppose it was whiskey; 
his father drank himself to death or caused disease 
of some kind; crazy maybe. Who is the cause of 
the orphan? It is the business man that upholds 
the liquor traffic, or rich man who is in the whole- 
sale business of liquor. He is the wicked man. They 
are the wicked in the sight of God. They shall 
utterly be consumed off the face of the earth. What 
does Amos say? He is writing about the rich or 
business man. See sixth chapter of Amos, seventh 
verse: ^^ Therefore now shall they go captive with 
the first that go captive.^' Now, read Amos care- 
fully and see what the judgment of the rich is to 
be. It is to the rich all the way through. Nahum 
compares them to lions, — second chapter, eleventh 
verse. What does Micah say about the rich — chap- 
ter six, verse twelve ? Eead it. What does Zechariah 
say about the rich? He compares them to the 
heathen — Zechariah first chapter, fifteenth verse. 
What does Isaiah say about the rich? He compares 
them to great men — Isaiah, second chapter, ninth 
verse. Judgment of the rich — Isaiah, fifth chapter, 

34 



fourteenth and fifteenth verses ; Isaiah, fifth chapter, 
eighth and ninth verses. The rich man made poor — 
Isaiah, tenth chapter, fourteenth and fifteenth verses. 
The men who buy and sell are rich — Isaiah, sixty- 
sixth chapter, twenty-fourth verse. Noav, to con- 
vince you who are the wicked men, just read what 
Jeremiah says, — Jeremiah, fifth chapter, twenty-six 
and twenty-seventh verses. Read Isaiah, seventeenth 
chapter, eleventh verse. 

Now, dear reader, I think I have shown enough 
in the Scripture to convince you who are the wicked 
ones in the sight of God. 



35 



CHAPTER II. 

You must not think the rich are the only wicked 
ones, but every one that sets a snare for his brother, 
or fellowman, to make something out of him with- 
out work. That hits everybody. The Lord said He 
could not find one, no, not one. We are all gone 
seeking after the things of this world. We are like 
sheep — all have gone astray. We are all for the 
dollar (or devil). We have made idols out of gold 
and silver. We have made images. We fall down 
and worship them. The minister has made an image 
out of his work. He is too good to do anything else. 
The doctor has made an image out of his profession ; 
the smith has made an image out of his trade and 
bows down to it; the professor has made an image 
out of education ; the workman has made an image, 
that is, the union ; and in all business and whatever 
craftsmen they may be, they are all trying to beat 
one another and call it an honest deal. I will just 
refer you to what Isaiah says about the smith and 
the carpenter, — Isaiah, chapter forty-four, com- 
mencing at the ninth verse and extending to the 
twenty-first verse. They all think they are too good 
to work for small wages. These ideas must all come 
to nanght. One man's time is w^orth no more than 
another's, — king, president, lawyer, governor, judge, 
doctor, professor, preacher or mechanic. The time 
will come in the twentieth century when they will 
have to work for a living, and then they will only 

2>6 



get pay for the actual work they do. The time will 
come in the twentieth century when we shall not 
have to pay to keep up a lot of government officers. 
We will have free trade — what we cannot raise will 
come in as free as water. Every coimtry will make 
w^hat it needs at home. All competition will be done 
away with. There will be one mighty trust that will 
sw^allow up all other trusts — it will be a friendship 
trust, a brotherly trust, a trust in our heavenly 
Father. He will wipe away all sorrow, tears and 
pain. We will all have to give up getting rich. 

Now, I will come back to Revelation, where I left 
off. ^^And to the angel of the church in Philadel- 
phia w^rite; these things saith he that is holy, he 
that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that 
openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and 
no man openeth. 

'^I know thy w^orks ; behold, I have set before thee 
an open door, and no man can shut it : for thou hast 
a little strength, and hast kept my vrord, and hast 
not denied my name. 

'^Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of 
Satan, which say they are Jews and are not, but 
do lie; behold, I will make them to come and wor- 
ship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved 
thee. 

''Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, 
I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, 
which shall come upon all the world, to try them 
that dwell upon the earth. 

Z1 



^* Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which 
thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 

^^Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the 
temple of my God, and he shall go no more out : and 
I will write upon him the name of God, and the 
name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, 
which Cometh down out of heaven from my God; 
and I will write upon him my new name/' 

This is Christ 's church, the new church which God 
is going to establish in the twentieth century. This 
is the church that is spoken of by all the prophets. 
Samuel speaks about this church ; II Samuel, seventh 
chapter, sixteenth and nineteenth verses: ^^ house 
for a great while to come.'' What does Micah say 
about this church? See Micah, chapter four, first 
and second verses. What does Haggai say about 
this latter house or church? See Haggai, chapter 
one, verse eight, and also chapter two, verse nine. 
Zephaniah speaks of it in chapter three, verse four- 
teen; *^ daughter" means the church; ^^Zion" means 
the world. You will notice all through the writings 
of the prophets, their language is figurative. 
''Daughter" is the church all the way through, ex- 
cept in a few cases. The ''sword" is God's word. 
You will notice all the way through the prophets 
the "sword" is used, that is, God's vengeance. The 
Holy Bible, His word, is the "sword." Ezekiel tells 
all about the new church, and the latter part of 
Eevelation tells of the new Jerusalem. Zechariah 
saw a new candlestick that was to hold the light of 
the world. See Zechariah, fourth chapter, second 

38 



verse. Now, as I have explained, the first church 
in Asia has the candlestick that holds the light of 
the world, but He is going to take it away from the 
present churches and establish this new church. 

Pardon me, I have gotten off my subject. I have 
said the rich man is the wicked one in the sight of 
God. I am not the judge. I will give you an exam- 
ple and you can judge for yourself. It is the man 
that sets snares for his fellowmen — Micah, second 
chapter, second verse. They are the wicked fellows. 
These are the examples. For an illustration we will 
take for a fit subject the city government of Los 
Angeles. They tax the people for expenses: they 
are extravagant; they create different funds — fire 
fund, park fund, salary fund, street fund, sewer 
fund, sinking fund, interest fund, and so on. The 
people are heavily taxed to run it. There is plenty 
of money in most of the funds. The salary fund — 
they know just what it takes for that. Those big, 
fat fellows get their pay in full. But the street fund 
is always short — the fellow that has to work every 
day for the city — ^no money in that fund. Then 
what is he paid in? City warrants at two dollars a 
day; then he has to find a bank and then he has to 
give fifty cents to get a dollar and a half. They dare 
not beat the big man that is elected to office or he 
would kick, but the poor man says nothing ; he can- 
not help himself. This happens in every city on the 
face of the earth. Is that right? The office-holder 
gets his pay in full and the man that does the work 
simply gives the bank fifty cents a day for a chance 

39 



to earn his bread. Who is the wicked man in this 
case? Of whom is the Chamber of Commerce com- 
posed? The four hundred, the bankers, manufac- 
turers, money loaners, business men ; they run things 
to their own interest. What they say is law. 

Now, for another example, let us take the county 
government in the state of Washington where I 
lived. How do they do business? I lived there for 
nineteen years and know just how things stand 
exactly. They ran behind always every year ; coun- 
ty warrants were only worth seventy-five cents on 
the dollar ; they bonded and raised money and war- 
rants went to ninety cents on the dollar. That was 
all right; nobody kicked at that. Then came the 
boom; they built several bridges and got in debt 
again, and I guess they will never get out. Now, 
what I want to get at is this : They created a bridge 
fund, an interest fund and a sinking fund. NoW; 
mind, you, our general expense fund was always be- 
hind; always plenty in the other funds. Now the 
county always had from twenty-five to forty thou- 
sand dollars in the local banks; our warrants all 
drew eight per cent ; the people that worked had to 
take ninety cents on the dollar for their money; 
now, that gives the banker eighteen per cent on the 
county's money; or the people's money; now, our 
treasurer paid warrants about every quarter of a 
year; for back warrants he made a call; now, that 
gave the banker forty-eight per cent on the dollar 
on the people's money and not a dollar invested. 
Who is the wicked man in this case? Judge for 

40 



yourself. These are the men that lay snares to catch 
men. 

Now, we will go a little farther in our national 
government. How do they do business? Of course 
unexpected incidents happen, as in the case ^vith 
the war with Spain; the government had to bond; 
they asked the bankers to furnish the money; they 
took up the loan at three or four per cent, and 
then turned right around and deposited the bonds 
and drew out ninety cents on the dollar in cur- 
rency to loan to the people at a rate of from ten to 
twelve per cent. Is that right? Our government 
could issue this kind of money without paying any 
interest on it, but the moneyed man is running 
things. 

Now, we will take up the shipbuilding trust. Now, 
our government wants some big battleship built. I 
notice there are always about three at a time built. 
Of course it takes big capital to do this, and all these 
big shipbuilding concerns are together; the govern- 
ments calls for bids; they all bid twice as much 
as it costs to build the ships ; one or the other gets 
the contract, of course. Which is the worst, these 
men or the man that robs some one for a few dol- 
lars, or the man that kills another in self-defense, 
because he knows that if he does not kill the man 
he will be killed himself? One man is hanged for a 
few dollars, but the one who steals millions is a 
good man. 

The Lord will judge between fat cattle and lean 
cattle in the last days. And then our ministers will 

41 



accept this money that is stolen from the people and 
ask God to bless it. Just so some one else does the 
dirty work, they do not care where the money comes 
from. 

The people must own all these things. They will 
own them all in the twentieth century. The farmer 
will get one dollar a pound for his avooI and the 
clothes will sell for ten dollars a suit. This is Avhat 
has to come about. We have got to get rid of the 
middlemen, or rich men, or the men who lay these 
snares to catch men. The farmer is the poorest paid 
man there is. They all want a fat office. That is 
why they are getting beat. Now, I raised sugar 
beets this year; I got four dollars and twenty-five 
cents a ton; the merchants get seventeen dollars for 
the sugar made from a ton of beets. Who gets the 
balance? The man with money, of course. Why 
do we patronize them? Because we have to and 
they know it. They have laid snares to catch men. 
When the people own all the manufactories and the 
stores, the farmer will get twelve dollars a ton for 
his beets. Then, where is the farmer who cannot 
make money at these prices? Just so in everything 
we buy. Say, for instance, a man has ten acres; 
every year twelve tons to an acre; that would be 
$1440 every year. He could manure his land every 
year and pay his expenses and have $1000 left be- 
sides. We will get this in the twentieth century. 

Did not the Lord promise us the fruits of our 
labor? Are w^e getting them? No, Ave are not. 

42 



What is the matter? We are all trying to make 
something out of our brother, and the one who lays 
the largest snare catches them all. AVe have not fol- 
lowed the law of Moses. We must return to the law 
and the Lord will turn to us. What was the curse 
He put on us? That w^e would be slaves and bond- 
men, neither bought nor sold. We plant, some one 
else reapeth. Deuteronomy, twenty-eighth chapter, 
verse sixty-eight. 

Now, dear friends, I am trading at a store. I have 
a family of four. It costs me about twenty dollars a 
month; the merchant has to have twenty per cent, 
that is what they calculate to get — a few^ things less 
and lots of things more. I should judge he makes 
gross off of me four dollars a month, or about fifty 
dollars a year. He has a big trade; he nets fifteen 
per cent. ; that is thirty-six dollars a year clear cash, 
and I will venture to say he will average fifty a year 
to the family. Now, if he has one hundred custom- 
ers, that is $5000 a year clear cash. Now, suppose 
the people owned the stores, blacksmith shops, hard- 
ware and furniture stores, creameries, lumber yards 
— and I know the people do not trade half of what 
they buy here — but suppose they did all their trad- 
ing here at one place, I venture to say the people 
would make $20,000 a year. What would the people 
make if they had twenty stores? It would be $400,- 
000 a year, and if we only made ten per cent, it 
would be $300,000 a year. Could we not build a 
sugar factory in one year ? Now, friends, we would 
not have to have one dollar to start it. All we want 

43 



is for you to trade here and stick to it one year. 
You all have to pay up every thirty days. These 
wholesale houses only want a chance to sell, if they 
know^ they can get their money every tliirty or sixty 
days. It would only take one year to get a footing, 
and when a farmer could make ten dollars more on a 
dry cow, three dollars more on a pig, and five cents 
a dozen more on eggs, he would be happy. 

Now, dear people, can you not try one year? If 
we had a butcher shop and handled it on a ten per 
cent, basis net, what would a good beef bring you? 
Suppose you had a cow that weighed twelve hun- 
dred pounds, and there are plenty such; say, half 
lost, that leaves six hundred pounds at ten cents a 
pound average; that is sixty dollars. Now, twenty 
per cent, for handling it, ten per cent, cost and ten 
per cent, net, that leaves just forty-eight dollars for 
your dry cow. Do you get it? No ; if you get thirty 
dollars you do w^ell. Everything you have to sell 
would profit you in the same proportion. Then 
could you not pay the present prices for things you 
buy? I think so. Things will come this way in 
the tw^entieth century. Then you would say, ^^How 
would you start ? ' ' First, you would start like every 
other company. Start a stock company ; incorporate 
any amount you feel like putting in — I would sug- 
gest ten dollars and no more to the man; after you 
get twenty-five or fifty subscribers, incorporate in 
your state; and your constitution, base it on equal- 
ity; set your wages at a fair price, say your clerks 
two dollars, your managers tv/o and a half a day. I 

44 



do not think there would be much pulling and haul- 
ing to get the job. In your constitution have it so 
that it cannot be changed or amended without every 
vote of the stockholders, and then if ninety-nine 
black sheep get in they cannot change it. Our fore- 
fathers when they started this government were 
all right as far as they went, but they are changed 
too easily. If it took every vote to change them 
Ave would have things different today. The sooner 
the farmers get to doing this the better it will be 
for them. Sooner or later God will help those that 
help themselves, and others beside themselves, and 
when they do start there wdll be weeping and wail- 
ing and gnashing of teeth. 

You must have a leader ; put some on in and give 
him a fair trial; say a year; stay Avith him; if he 
shows you a net gain of ten per cent on the busi- 
ness, he has done well ; stay with him ; keep him as 
long as he will stay with you. By the way, I have 
a constitution drawn up which is the just the thing. 
If you would like to hear about it, just address Jacob 
M. Frazer, Van Nuys, Cal. 

We notice it said in the prophets that every one 
will worship God from Ms OAvn place. This has a 
great meaning. This v/ill be a happy world to live 
in when all the poor have a home of their own; a 
place where they can lay down and rest and will 
not have to worry over the next month's rent. What 
will the rich do when there Avill be no one to rent 
their buildings? There will be weeping and wail- 
ing and gnashing of teeth. The time will come in 

45 



the twentieth century that no man will receive any 
profit from land more than he can till himself. When 
these large farms are divided np there will be homes 
for millions of people. There is plenty of land for 
all if it were divided up right. The rich land owner 
wdll be glad to sell it at reasonable prices. If he 
does not the taxes wall eat it up in a little while. 
In the twentieth century there will be no taxes, only 
a land tax. A man wall not have to pay taxes on 
his improvements. There is no encouragement to 
improve property on a farm. It means more taxes, 
and such improvements as we need on a farm do 
not bring in a cent of income. Wherefore, it ought 
to be exempt from taxation. When we have equal 
taxation it will be on land graded to raw valuation. 
Then the land grabber will pay his share of taxa- 
tion. But if a man works hard and puts out an 
orchard, he is taxed for doing it, and his neighbor 
next to him who has just as good as he, is not taxed 
one-half as much. Is this equal taxation? I think 
not. Why does our government tax the poor to 
run the national government? Why don't they tax 
the property? That would not be right for the rich 
to pay for running the government. The poor pay 
just as much as the rich. Is that fair? The rich 
may pay a little more. I am sure the poor would 
pay as much if they had enough to pay for what 
they could eat and wear. The rich put their sur- 
plus cash in bonds and have no taxes to pay, and 
the poor are taxed to pay interest to the money 
sharks. This is the kind of government all over the 

46 



world. I think it is time to stop such work. When 
such things are stopped there A\dll be weeping, wail- 
ing and gnashing of teeth. 

Did not God say, when the world had pain He 
would deliver his people. Were things ever darker 
than they are today ? There is not enough gold and 
silver in the world to pay one year's interest on the 
bonded indebtedness. There is going to be a crash 
somewhere soon, and then there will be weeping and 
wailing and gnashing of teeth. They tell us we have 
prosperity in our land. Where is it? It is not on 
our farms. You can ride from one end of California 
to the other; you can not see prosperity anywhere 
on the small farms. The money lender will soon 
have them. Where is your prosperity? I'll tell you 
where it is : In the hands of the business men ; they 
are raking in on all sides; it all flows to these 
clearing-houses; their profits are getting larger all 
the time. When shall the end be? 

They will pull harder and harder, and then they 
will pull once too often, and there will be weeping, 
wailing and gnashing of teeth. They all will fall 
in their own snares, and then what? There will be 
weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Our 
great writers tell us of the dark ages a few hun- 
dred years back. I tell you, dear reader, times were 
never darker than they are now to the laborer. Our 
factories are full of goods, our warehouses are full, 
the stores are full, and no room for more, and the 
people or masses have no money to buy. The farmer 
cannot make enough to pay taxes and get enough 

47 



to eat. What are they going to do? I tell you 
what we will do: We will let the speculator keep 
them; he may need them for himself. What does 
is say in Revelation: 

''Nobody buyeth their merchandise any more." 
Then there will be w^eeping and wailing and gnash- 
ing of teeth. 

I wonder what the people wdll say about us 200 
years from now, when they read the history of peo- 
ple starving to death in the midst of plenty and the 
laborer paying the banker fifty cents and a dollar 
a day just for a chance to earn their daily bread. 
God said we would wax worse and worse until the 
last days. The people 200 years from now will say 
there never was a bigger set of robbers ever lived 
than in 1900, A. D. Oh, what a record we will have. 
It is time for the end to come. 

I have left the Bible quite a while, but I had 
to tell what would happen in the twentieth century. 
This is the seventh church in Asia. The one before 
was the latter church to be established. This one 
comes in after that is set up. There will be a class 
of people, good moral people, that will acknowledge 
things to be right and so on, but they are rich and 
well to do, but they lost a great deal in the crash. 
They do not worship God. Revelation, chapter 
three, commencing at the fourteenth verse, reads as 
follows : 

''And unto the angel of the church of the Loadi- 
ceans write : These things saith the amen, the f aith- 

48 



ful and true witness the beginning of the creation 
of God; 

''I Imow thy works, that thou art neither cold nor 
liot : I would thou wert cold or hot. 

''So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither 
cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 

''Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased 
mth goods, and have need of nothing ; and knowest 
not that thou art w^retched, and miserable, and poor, 
and blind, and naked : 

"I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the 
fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, 
that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of 
thy nakedness do not appear ; and anoint thine eyes 
with eye-salve, that thou mayest see. 

"As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be 
zealous, therefore and repent. 

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any 
man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in 
to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 

"To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with 
me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set 
down with my Father in his throne. ' ' 

What do these verses mean? They mean it is a 
very dangerous place to be in. It is a very deep 
subject to go into, but it must be made very plain. 
God does not desire any one to be lost, but this class 
of people must come to their God while His hand is 
stretched out, still He is always ready to receive if 
you will only give your heart to Him. God will give 
you warning in sufficient time, for He is great and 

49 



a merciful God. As you read Romans, you get this 
idea, — he that has the law will be judged by the law. 
If the Bible is a sealed book, which it is without a 
doubt, we must read it with care. Now, when will 
this great desolation take place ? The desolation will 
be in the twentieth century, and when His great 
servant comes and warns the people in due time, 
you will see him and know him by his works. Then 
you will have the law and you will be judged by the 
law. I will prove to you later on what I have said. 

Now, as I have said, every city upon the face of 
the earth will be desolate in the twentieth century. 
I will prove it to you in the prophets. First, you 
must consider there were only a few countries at that 
time when it was written. Every country that was 
known is mentioned; history tells us they have all 
been desolate already, and our wise men will tell 
you it did not mean this day and age. I do not think 
they had pastors and ministers in those days either. 
But the prophets tell about them just the same. 
When the prophets wrote them, part was meant for 
them and most all for this century. The Jews were 
persecuted by those countries in those days. It was 
just meant to comfort them. 

Why is the great desolation to take place? One 
reason is to teach the world such a lesson that it will 
never forget. Another reason is, they have built it 
with blood. 

What is the most wicked business now-a-days? 
The church says it is the liquor traffic. God is go- 
ing to cut three of the most wicked devices off the 

50 



face of the earth in the twentieth century. Liquors 
of all kinds, opium and tobacco. When they are 
gone the world will be cleansed. The prophets speak 
of the bloody city, built by blood. How are they 
built by blood? In different ways, one in the cursed 
liquor traffic. It is the worst of all. Our city gov- 
ernment upholds it. They allow the dens and dives 
to run in broad daylight in many places. Now, 
God is going to punish such cities and towns by 
desolation. Do you vote for a party that licenses 
such traffic? Some of our richest men are at the 
head of this business. They do not care hoAv they 
get rich. They sell human souls for gain. Widows 
and little children. In these cities is where banks 
fail and sweep away the earnings of the laborer. In 
the cities is where they teach for hire and judge 
for reward. In these cities is w^here they make lavv-s 
to suit the business man. In these cities is where 
the speculator holds forth who would rob you in 
daylight. In the cities is where the lawyers prac- 
tice ; when a poor fellow gets in trouble they get all 
he has got and all that his friends will put up ; and 
then the worst is to get clear if he has got the most 
money. 

Such wickedness as this is why God is going to 
destroy these cities. 

Nahum, chapter 3, first six verses. Micah, chap- 
ter 5, fourtenth verse. Isaiah, chapter 5, eighth 
verse. Isaiah, chapter 6, eleventh verse. Isaiah, 
chapter 10, third verse. Isaiah, chapter 23, seventh 
verse. Isaiah, chapter 23, eleventh verse. Isaiah, 

51 



chapter 26, fifth verse. Isaiah, chapter 27, tenth 
verse. Isaiah, chapter 32, thirteenth and fourteenth 
verses. Isaiah, chapter 33, eighth verse. 

Judgment on the cities : Isaiah, chapter 34, verses 
11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. 

Not one of these shall fail: Jeremiah, chapter 4, 
twenty-ninth verse. 

There are many other places I could refer you 
to — Daniel, chapter 12, eleventh verse. 

Now, to prove to you it was meant for this cen- 
tury, note this : What did Jesus tell his followers ? 
See Mark, chapter 13, fourteenth verse. Is this 
enough to make you believe it was not just for those 
old countries? Have we a history anyAvhere as a 
witness that there was ever an abomination or deso- 
lation anywhere? Now, read Daniel, chapter 12, 
sixth and seventh verses. How long shall it be to 
the end of these wonders? It shall be for a time 
and times and a half. The only thing to figure out 
is how long is a time. Daniel was written about 
six hundred years before Christ, and nineteen hun- 
dred years since Christ, making twenty-five hun- 
dred years. According to that, a time is a thousand 
years. Do you want any more to convince you? 
I say the Bible is a sealed book. Isaiah, twenty- 
ninth chapter, eleventh and twelfth verses, and 
Isaiah, fortieth chapter, fifth verse. The people 
w^ere not to know these things until the last days. 
God has shut their eyes so that they could not see 
these things. Isaiah, chapter 44, verse 18, ''Behold, 

52 



I will send you Elijah, the prophet, before these 
great and terrible days.'' 

The Bible is written in parables. Jesus says on 
that day He would speak face to face and not speak 
in parables any more. 

What does Ezekiel say in second chapter, third 
verse ? He speaks here direct to his servant Jacob : 
'^I send thee to the children of Israel; to a rebellious 
nation that hath rebelled against me ; they and their 
fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this 
very day.'' 

Ezekiel, third chapter, verses 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 
and 21. 

These verses are the greatest in the Bible ; here is 
warning to mankind. 



53 



CHAPTER III. 

The Bible speaks of judgment. God has passed 
judgment upon man. That is the first death for our 
sins that we commit here on earth. When Adam 
sinned, death was pronounced upon mankind. The 
second judgment, man pronounces it on himself. 
When we have the law to go by, then if we do not 
follow the law, we are simply responsible to our- 
selves; we judge ourselves. God has nothing to do 
with it. If we do not that which is right, w^e will 
have part in the second death, which is no more. 
But I tell you, dear friends, no one will want to 
have to partake of the second death. 

God has required of man a daily sacrifice from the 
beginning of the world unto the time all things be 
fulfilled, that the gospel might be preached to the 
world. Now, when he comes in every heart of man 
— which is called the second coming, but it is really 
the third coming — all things will be finished. The 
great judgment which God speaks so much about 
is judgment upon this earth; this great day coming 
soon, when He will establish His kingdom here on 
earth. The judgment upon man that has dishonest 
riches — when man will lose his wealth right before 
his eyes : as you have robbed you must be robbed. 

In the twentieth century all the great railroads 
and large farms in the world will be sold for taxes. 
This great American enterprise (or the people) will 
buy them simply for taxes ; then there will be weep- 

54 



ing and gnashing of teeth. That is when you will 
lose your riches in one hour, spoken of in Revela- 
tion. That will be the great and terrible day spoken 
of by all the prophets. Blessed are the poor; they 
will tread down the rich (or wicked) ; they will feed 
in fine pastures; none will want or hunger in the 
day of the great slaughter; they will eat and be 
full. Are you ready for the great time to come? 
God says it surely will come to pass. It will come 
quickly and none will escape. The man of wealth 
will hide away in rocks and caves and wish death, 
and none shall find it. Have you laid up riches 
for the last days? Your gold and silver are a wit- 
ness against you. The world is asleep. God is go- 
ing to wake it up in the next twenty years. It will 
come as a mighty flood; will sweep everything be- 
fore Him (Jacob). Isaiah, forty- first chapter. 
When you read it you can understand a few things. 
Jacob will thrash the world when he comes. This 
chapter is speaking to the people down to the tenth 
verse ; then He speaks direct to His servant Jacob ; 
notice, twenty-first verse; produce your cause. He 
speaks direct to the learned men of the world ; show 
your cause, tell us the things that must come to pass 
hereafter; declare the things to us that must be 
soon; let us know what will happen in the end; that 
we may know that ye are gods. Do good or do evil 
that we may know. Your works are as nothing, and 
the man that chooseth you will be in danger of eter- 
nal damnation. You have made images of your 
works of whatever craftsmen he may be and they 

55 



fall down and worship a god made with hands. 
Twenty-fifth verse. I have raised one up that de- 
clareth all things to come hereafter; a righteous 
man, he will rule the world and the law will go forth 
from the New Jerusalem. His fiery furnace will be 
in the New Jerusalem, and I beheld there was no 
man even among them who could answer even a 
word. Behold all works of men are vanity. Read 
Ecclesiastes : All the works of men are vanity. 
Every book in the Bible has a meaning at the right 
time and place ; some are history, to show when the 
people sinned, God has punished ; and when they re- 
turned he returned to them. 

And the prophets tell us things that must come to 
pass. What must we do? Do these things no more 
and God will not remember them against you; re- 
turn to Him and He will return to you. "What 
things must we not do? We must quit trying to 
make a living off of somebody else's labor; quit 
stealing; quit robbing; quit murdering; quit swear- 
ing. We must establish equality between man and 
man; one man's time is worth as much as another's. 
We must work for ourselves — not for others, work 
by the sweat of our brow. We must quit trying to 
gain the whole world, if you don't you will lose your 
soul. We must get into some business of our own 
Avhere they will not make 25%, 50%, 100%, and 
many 300%. This business is what God calls rob- 
bing. Are we doing these things? Are we in some 
business if we get a customer and we make enough 
off of him to keep us a month or more, such as doc- 

56 



tors and lawyers, this is robbing in the sight of 
God. Such work is wickedness in the sight of God. 
When Jacob starts this great American enterprise 
he will pay all men equal wages; he will hire the 
idle and those that need work, and no man will 
get work that has a thousand dollars cash or has 
an income of 25 dollars a month. He will go into 
all business of the world except liquors of all kinds, 
tobacco, opium and all games of chance. These 
are the filth of the earth and God is going to cleanse 
the world of these things. 

Dear friends, cannot you support a company of 
this kind? When this great American enterprise 
starts it will do business on a ten per cent net profit. 
What are you paying now? You i^re paying three 
hundred per cent on sugar ; you are paying four hun- 
dred per cent on your woolen goods; you are pay- 
ing ninety per cent on your meats; you are paying 
two hundred per cent on your hardware; twenty- 
five per cent on all dairy products ; twenty- five per 
cent on all your eggs; all your fruits, one hundred 
per cent ; you pay on your flour, fifty per cent ; on 
your coffee and tea, five hundred per cent ; on your 
leather, one hundred per cent; on all your drugs, 
five hundred to one thousand per cent. When God 
establishes His kingdom He only wants ten per cent. 
Quite a difference in doing business. Which one 
will you support? When the people own all the 
railroads w^e will ride anywhere for a cent a mile. 
When this great American enterprise starts they 
will issue their own money; it will represent labor, 

57 



not speculation. A man cannot gamble it off. 
They cannot drink it up ; they cannot give it to an- 
other; they cannot buy that which is stolen; they 
cannot spend it in the house of ill fame. A man 
cannot go wrong in that time. Oh ! dear reader, 
are you a Christian? If you want to be just join 
this great American enterprise. Help yourselves, 
help others, help to take this wickedness off the face 
of the earth. Did not God say He would put the 
devil, Satan, and the old dragon in the bottomless 
pit and put a seal on him? Money is the root of 
all evil. 

Dear parents and mothers that have children, 
can not you support an institution of this kind when 
we get rid of all these curses? Then you can say 
to your children, go out into this great world. They 
will not worry about them going wrong. This will 
be heaven on earth. May God hasten it soon. He 
will wipe away all tears, heartaches and sorrow. 
You will only have to do your part. Just send in 
$100 and belong to this great stock company. You 
will only get eight per cent on your investment. 
When you die it is paid back to your heirs. The 
stock is non-transferable ; it can not be bought and 
sold. The constitution of the company can not be 
changed only by every vote of the stockholders. It 
takes one hundred black sheep to change it, and 
then it has to be signed by the president of the 
company. When the producer becomes the merchant 
then there will be weeping, wailing and gnashing of 
teeth. 

58 



Send twenty-five cents to pay for printing and 
mailing, and I will send you a copy of the consti- 
tution of this great American enterprise. 

As I have said, every book in the Bible is there 
for a purpose. What do we learn from Jonah? I 
wdll tell you: These prophets will never get out 
of the whale's belly this time to warn the cities; 
there will be no repentence of God this time as when 
the spared Ninevah. 

Who are the false prophets ? They are the preach- 
ers, that divine for money and teach for hire. 

I have said that God was going to do away wdtli 
the churches. I will show you some of the reasons 
why he is. One reason is that ministers have made 
merchandise out of God's law. They preach for the 
almighty dollar, and the one who can beg the most 
money gets the largest salary. They have fed 
themselves and let their flocks starve. They do not 
care how they get the money, just so they give it to 
the church. Micah, third chapter, eleventh verse : 

'^The heads thereof judge for reward, and the 
priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets there- 
of divine for money: yet will they lean upon the 
Lord, and say. Is not the Lord among us? none evil 
can come upon us." 

The ministers departed from the law. Malachi, 
second chapter, verses 8 and 9 : 

'^But ye are departed out of the way; ye have 
caused many to stumble at the law; ye have cor- 
rupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. 

''Therefore have I also made you contemptible 

59 



and base before all the people, according as ye have 
not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law." 

What does this mean? They bless those that give 
and curse everybody that does not believe as they do. 
Just before the sermon commences they say, '^The 
Lord blesses a cheerful giver." That means God has 
no use for a man who does not give. They preach 
to suit the ways of the people. It does not matter 
how they get money, just so they get some of it. 

Now, when the church is done away with, the 
preachers will howl. Zechariah, eleventh chapter, 
third verse : 

' ^ There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds ; 
for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of 
young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled." 

Ministers cut off — Zechariah, eleventh chapter, 
eighth and nine verses : 

^^ Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; 
and my soul loathed them, and their soul also ab- 
horred me. 

' ^ Then said I, I will not feed you ; that that dieth, 
let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be 
cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of 
another. ' ' 

The Lord has cursed the preachers — Malachi, sec- 
ond chapter, second verse : 

^^If you will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to 
heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of 
hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will 
curse your blessings; yea, I have cursed them al- 
ready; because you do not lay it to heart." 

60 



They preach to suit the people — Isaiah, thirtieth 
chapter, tenth verse : 

''Which say to the seers, See not; and to the 
prophets. Prophesy not unto us right things, speak 
unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits/' 

The people say you must not preach anything 
that will interfere with our business, and they will 
not preach to interfere with his business. 

I can find many more verses in the prophets that 
will show you what the ministers have done. I have 
got off my subject a little but, however, the church 
and the ministers wdll all go together. Now, you 
remember about the first church in Asia. It says, 
''Repent and turn unto thy first love or I will take 
the candlestick away from you.'' What must they 
repent of? They must preach Christ for the love of 
Christ, not for the love of money. How does Ezekiel 
compare them and what they have done? I do not 
want you to take my word for it. Ezekiel, sixteenth 
chapter. This means the present church. You will 
notice it vv^as born in Canaan. You will notice down 
to the fifteenth verse what God thought of it. When 
the church got strong, it was the church that saved, 
not God. You will notice in the twenty-fifth verse 
that it opened the door to every one that passed by. 
Any one who joins the church and acknowledges 
the creed and burns incense to it( or gives money to 
it). Notice the forty-fifth verse — as the church is 
so are the church members. Forty-sixth verse: 
^^And thine elder sister is Samaria" . . . was 
the Jewish church. The present church is worse 

61 



than the Jewish church — forty-seventh verse. Noav, 
the Jewish church is as Sodom, and He took it away 
as He saw good — forty-ninth and fiftieth verses. 
Fifty-first verse: *' Neither hath Samaria (or Jew- 
ish church) committed half of thy sins; but thou 
hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, 
and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abomina- 
tions which thou hast done." Fifty-second verse: 
. . . ''they are more righteous than thou.'' (the 
Jewish church). You notice in sixty-first verse: 
. . . ''thy younger sister." What does this mean? 
It is the new church. Christ's church that is to be 
established in the twentieth century. The Jewish 
church is as Sodom to God. He does not recognize 
them. It is passed away forever. The present 
churches will be as Gomorrah, will pass away and be 
no more. Now, I think this sixteenth chapter has 
explained the church better than I can. 

Now, read the twenty-third chapter of Ezekiel. 
What does he say about the churches here? This 
chapter means the Jewish church and the present 
churches. Eead it carefully. You can understand 
it. He compares them to two women. This one 
ought to be enough to make a dog sick. The worldly 
people look at the churches in the same light. No 
w^onder it takes three thousand sermons to convert 
one person. At first there were three thousand 
added to the church in one day. That was the day 
of Pentecost. 

Now, I call your attention to the Lamentations 
of Jeremiah, first chapter, first five verses. It means 

62 



the cities that have become desolate. From the sixth 
verse is the destruction of the church. Remember 
''daughter'' here is the church; ''Zion" is the world; 
''Judah" represents the rich. The first two chapters 
of Lamentations tell of the destruction of the pres- 
ent churches, except the five first verses. Lamenta- 
tions, fourth chapter, third verse — how is the church 
become? The church of my people has become cruel. 
Sixth verse — what does that mean? The punish- 
ment of the present churches will be greater than 
Sodom and her iniquity. 

Now, I have said God would raise Him up a 
servant. Now, every prophet has a name for him 
and Eevelation has a name for him, too. Jesus 
speaks about him as the Comforter and he will be 
the revealer of all things. That is, he will make 
the Bible so plain that a man that runneth can read 
it and understand it, and he will show us all things 
that must come to pass and make things right be- 
tween man and man. We never hear our preachers 
say anything about him. He is mentioned from 
Genesis down to Eevelation. The Revelation is so 
plain. These things must shortly come to pass. 

Now, to get the understanding of all these things 
you must read the Bible every day, and God will 
give you understanding just as he has me. Every- 
thing I have said I haA^e got it from reading con- 
tinually. Now, I will refer you to a few passages 
where Jacob is mentioned — Isaiah, forty-third chap- 
ter. You will notice what he says to him. Now, he 
is speaking directly to him here. Read first six 

63 



verses, then commence at twenty-second verse and 
down to the twenty-eighth verse ; commence at the 
forty-fourth chapter down to the sixth verse; then 
commence at the twenty-first verse and the twenty- 
second verse, forty-fifth chapter, down to the fifth 
verse and fourteenth verse; now, commence at the 
forty-eighth chapter, fourth verse down to the thir- 
teenth verse, seventeenth verse down to the twen- 
tieth verse; commence at the forty-ninth chapter, 
sixth verse, last clause in the verse; commence at 
the twenty-third verse down to the fiftieth chapter ; 
commence at the fifty-first chapter, fifteenth and 
sixteenth verses ; commence at the fifty-fourth chap- 
ter, fourteenth, fifteenth and seventeenth verses; 
commence at the fifty-eighth chapter, eleventh 
verse down to the fifty-ninth chapter ; commence at 
the fifty-ninth chapter, commencing at the first 
clause in the twenty-first verse and the balance of 
the verse. 

These verses I have referred you to are directly 
to his servant Jacob. It shows you what kind of 
man he has been and what he will be. Now, God 
says He will be with him and lead him and the 
things he will do, and in the rest of the verses he is 
speaking to the people of this day and this age of 
the world. It was written for this time and no 
other. He speaks directly to Jacob in a few places 
in Jeremiah and one or two other of the prophets. 

Now, turn back to Isaiah, forty-first chapter, 
and see what He says to him there. Commence at 
the eighth verse down to the seventeenth verse. You 

64 



see when he comes he will rule the earth with a rod 
of iron or a strong hand. Revelation, second chap- 
ter, verse twenty-seven ; Revelation, twenty-sixth 
verse — rule all the nations. Let us notice what he 
will do all through the prophets. We Avill com- 
mence at Numbers, chapter twenty-third, verses 
seven, eight, nine and ten; again in twenty-third 
and twenty-fourth verses ; twenty-fourth chapter, 
verses five, seven, eight and nine. Jacob is king, — 
1 Samuel, twenty-fourth chapter, tenth verse ; Jacob 
as a faithful priest, — 1 Samuel, second chapter, 
thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth verses. What David 
saw, — 1 Chronicles, sixteenth chapter, commencing 
at the thirteenth verse down to the thirty-sixth 
verse. What does Zechariah say he is, third chap- 
ter, eighth verse? What does Isaiah say, forty-sec- 
ond chapter, first verse? Isaiah, chapter forty-nine, 
verse six. Jacob as a prophet, — Jeremiah, first 
chapter, fifth verse; Malachi, chapter four, verse 
five. Jacob as a lion, Jeremiah, fourth chapter, 
seventh verse. Jacob as a prophet, Jeremiah, chap- 
ter twenty-eight, verse nine. Jacob as a lion in 
Revelation, chapter five, verse five ; again in Revela- 
tion, chapter twelve, verse seven. Jacob is called 
Michael here. So you see he is called by many 
names, Jacob is called the Son of Man in a great 
many places. What does Jesus tell us about the 
son of man, Matthew, chapter twenty-five, verses 
thirty-one, thirty-two and thirty- three ? Matthew 
twenty-fourth chapter, forty-fourth verse. Matthew 
twenty-fourth chapter, thirtieth verse and thirty- 

65 



ninth verse. Now Jesus tells us here in the twenty- 
fourth chapter of Matthew about this great day,-- 
commencing at the thirtieth verse down to the twen- 
ty-fifth chapter. Jesus speaks of desolation in 
Mark, — then shall the end be. End of what? Some 
people think it will be the end of the world. Then 
shall the Bible be revealed and the wicked ways 
of man be no more. 

Now, dear people, have we not had all the signs 
that Jesus said we would have? Signs from heaven 
— the sun should be darkened; should have great 
earthquakes, pestilences and famine in divers 
places; and the stars would fall; that generation 
would not pass away till these things would be. 
Then the parable of the fig tree. When it putteth 
out leaves you know that the spring is nigh. Then 
you know that the time is here. All the signs have 
come to pass, except the desolation. Desolation will 
be completed in 1970. Oh, how many are ready? 
This old world is asleep. Did not Jesus tell you 
to watch? You know not what day, hour or year 
he Cometh. Oh, how many thousands have piled up 
riches to vanish before their eyes ! You will notice 
in St. John, chapter fifteenth, verse twenty-six, — 
the Comforter, he shall teach you all things (Jacob) 
and bring all things to your remembrance. What 
else will he do? Isaiah, chapter forty-fifth, verse 
thirteen. He shall build my city (New eTerusalem) 
and he shall let go my captives (the poor and those 
that are in prison), not for price or reward. Jacob 
to bring good tidings, — Isaiah, chapter fifty-two, 
verse seven : 55 



a 



How beautiful upon the mountains, (this great 
country of ours), are the feet of him that bringeth 
good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth 
good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that 
sayeth unto Zion (world), thy God rcigneth. Jacob 
will deal prudently with you. Isaiah, chapter fifty- 
two, verse thirteen and verse fifteen. He shall sprin- 
kle many nations. Just notice Jeremiah, chapter 
one, verse five, last clause, — ''and I ordained thee a 
prophet unto many nations." You may read down 
to the eleventh verse. What shall he do? Tenth 
verse: ''See, I have this day set thee over the na- 
tions (all nations), and over the kingdoms (all king- 
doms), to root out, and to put down, and to destroy, 
and to throw down, to build, and to plant." Just 
notice again, Jeremiah, chapter twenty-eight, verse 
nine, — "The prophet which prophesieth of peace 
(Jacob), when the word of the prophet shall come 
to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the 
Lord hath truly sent him." Please excuse me for 
putting the same verse twice, but I have authority 
to use them many times if I choose. Where do I get 
the authority? Isaiah twenty-eight, verse ten, — 
"For precept must be upon precept, precept upon 
precept ; line upon line, line upon line ; here a little, 
and there a little." 

Read Acts, third chapter, commencing at the nine- 
teenth verse, and the balance of the chapter. No- 
tice the twenty-fourth verse in particular. It says 
from Samuel down; but we must go back to Genesis, 
when Jacob blessed his sons and told them what 

67 



would happen in the last days. "When Shiloh comes 
then would be the gathering of the people. 

Now, as you read Isaiah, everything that is here 
shall come to pass this century. It was written for 
this century, except a few places ; as I have said, it 
was written to comfort the Jews. When you get the 
key to Isaiah and read it in the light as I do, you 
will understand just as I do. God will put it in your 
hearts. I can find many places telling what Jacob 
is to do. You can find all about it if you will read 
all the prophets. What shall Jacob do? He will 
teach you all things. St. John, sixteenth chapter, 
thirteenth verse : 

^'Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, 
he (Jacob) will guide you into all truth; for he 
shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall 
hear (or see in Scripture), that shall he speak; and 
he will show you things to come. 

''He (Jacob) shall glorify me; if he shall re- 
ceive of mine, and shall show it unto you. 

''All things that the Father hath are mine: there- 
fore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall 
show it unto you.'' 

And when he shall come, he (Jacob) shall reprove 
the world, and of righteousness and of judgment — 
St. John, sixteenth chapter, eighth verse. Oh, what 
a lesson was this — sixteenth chapter of St. John. 
Oh, if the disciples could have looked in this cen- 
tury as Jesus did, the world would have been dif- 
ferent, but it was not for them to know judgment. 

68 



Oh, have any of our great ministers seen it as Jesus 
saw it? 

No, it was not for them to see. That the trans- 
gression might be full when the world had pain, He 
(God) would deliver His people. This is the time 
that Jesus spoke of so many times in parables. 
Every parable represents His kingdom to be estab- 
lished in the twentieth century. May God hasten the 
time ! Everybody will know Him. Though a woman 
may forget her child, but God will not forget His 
people. I will let this alone till after awhile. 

In the twentieth century God will overthrow na- 
tions and kingdoms, even the United States of 
America. Daniel, eighth chapter, twenty-fifth verse, 
means the United States of America. Daniel, sev- 
enth chapter, twenty-sixth verse, means the United 
States. I will translate Daniel later on. I refer 
you to these places that the United States will come 
to her end like all other nations. You will notice in 
Isaiah, seventeenth chapter, thirteenth verse — ^He will 
rebuke all nations. Again, in twenty-third chapter, 
eleventh verse; Zechariah, twelfth chapter, ninth 
verse; again in Haggai, second chapter, twenty- 
second verse; again in Isaiah, tenth chapter, sev- 
verse. Read Jeremiah, thirteenth chapter, eighteenth 
verse : ^ ^ Say unto the king and to the queen. Hum- 
ble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities 
shall come down, even the crown of your glory.'' 
Oh, what a great day this will be ! We will not have 
to pay tribute to Caesar. There will be no tax gath- 
erer. The people will not have to support drones. 

69 



God's kingdom will be established forever and for- 
ever. I could find many other places in the prophets 
where the nations will be destroyed. You can find 
them as well as I, if you will search the Scriptures. 
In the twentieth century God will establish His 
kingdom forever and forever. This is told in every 
book in the Bible nearly. A great many people think 
He reigns now. My dear friend, when God reigns 
things will be different than they are now. There 
will be no heartaches then; there will be no poor; no 
rich; everybody will work for bread; there will be 
no four hundred ; there will be no high, no low. We 
will be brothers and sisters. There will be no 
hobos. The first will be last and the last will be 
first. Excuse me, but I have to quote Scripture if 
I say anything. I will prove it in the Bible. Isaiah, 
twenty-fourth chapter, first and second verses. You 
will notice He turns things upside down. The people 
will be the priest; as with the servant so with his 
master; the master will become the servant; as v/ith 
the maid so with her mistress ; the mistress will be- 
come maid ; as with the buyer so with the seller ; the 
farmer will be the merchant ; as with the borrower 
so with the lender; the borrower will lend to the 
man that lends now. The first shall be last and the 
last first. We will notice as far back as in Moses' 
time. He speaks of this great nation (or kingdom). 
Numbers, fourtenth chapter, twelfth verse. God has 
predisposed all things from the beginning. He made 
the people the way they are. If He has, do you 
suppose He is going to punish them? Did He not 

70 



pass judgment upon Adam? He should die for his 
disobedience. We all pay that penalty. That is the 
first judgment passed upon man, and Jesus died that 
the second judgment would not be passed upon us 
until we had the law. When the desolation takes 
place, then we will have the law ; then if we do not 
keep the law of Moses, then we Avill be judged by 
the law, which is the second death, and they shall 
be no more. God does not punish any one. We pun- 
ish ourselves. If we disobey the laws of our gov- 
ernment, we pay the penalty. If we murder (ac- 
cording to Moses, blood for blood) we are hanged 
till we are dead. God has prepared the way be- 
yond the grave. 

I have got somewhat off my subject. Now, for 
his kingdom. We next notice in II Samuel, chap- 
ter seven, verses twelve and thirteen: ^^And when 
thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy 
fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which 
shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will estab- 
lish his kingdom. 

^^He (Jacob) shall build an house for my name; 
and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for- 



ever. ' ^ 



First Samuel, second chapter, tenth verse. Again 
in Micah, fourth chapter, verse seven; '^And I will 
make her that halted a remnant, and her that w^as 
cast far off a strong nation; and the Lord shall 
reign over them in mount Zion (great world) from 
henceforth, even forever." 

Again in Zechariah, chapter fourteenth, verse nine 

71 



— and the Lord shall be king over the whole earth. 
Again in Jeremiah, chapter twenty-three, verse five : 
''Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will 
raise unto David a righteous branch (Jacob), and 
a king shall reign and prosper, and shall execute 
judgment and justice in the earth." We hear so 
much about the second coming of Christ. How peo- 
ple get things mixed up ! Who is the Son of Man 
spoken of here in Matthew, chapter twenty-four, 
verse thirty, and many other places? The church 
construes the meaning to be the second coming of 
Christ. Have you ever thought that Jesus was the 
Son of God, not the Son of Man? Jesus was the 
son of woman, but he was the Son of God : But who 
is the Son of Man? It surely does not mean Jesus. 
He was not the Son of Man. He was the Son of 
God. What good are all the great colleges where 
men put in seven years studying the Bible? Just 
let them prove these things to the contrary! I tell 
you whom he speaks of here. It is nothing more 
than his great servant Jacob. He is called differ- 
ently in every book in the Bible where he is men- 
tioned, and then they expect this great and terrible 
day Jesus speaks of here in Matthew, twenty-fourth 
chapter, verse sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, 
twenty and twenty-one. ''For the elect's sake, the 
day shall be shortened." What does that mean? 
It means it will never come to pass. Now, you see 
the ministers think they are so smart and know 
everything. Why do not they preach Christ? They 
will not preach anything that is not to their own 

12 



interest. Why do they not follow Christ 's example ? 
He never begged a cent in his life. He did every- 
thing He could for mankind and never charged a 
cent. He preached and did not charge a cent for 
it. Now, most of the churches will not let a man 
preach in their church that has not been through 
where they grind out ministers and they do not 
know a bull from a cow. They preach for money 
and nothing else. They do not care how the mem- 
bers get money, just so they get it. They will take 
money that has been stolen and ask God to bless it. 
This is why God has cursed the churches and he 
will wipe them off the face of the earth. And the 
ministers preach so much about heaven and they 
do not know what they are talking about, and the 
New Jerusalem, they say it is in heaven; that is 
all right, but where is heaven? Now, as we read in 
Revelation, — these things must shortly come to pass 
— according to that the New Jerusalem will be built 
here on earth. If heaven is to be here on the earth, 
then hell must be here, too. I tell you the rich man 
will think hell soon when no one will rent his great 
buildings, no one will ride on his cars, no one will 
buy his goods; city bonds and stocks will not be 
worth the paper they are written on. These are the 
fellows that will see hell. Just notice Matthew 
twenty-fifth chapter, fourteenth verse; ''For the 
kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far 
country, who called his own servants, and delivered 
unto them his goods." Do you suppose we will be 
doing business after we die? These are Jesus' own 



words for it. Oh, Avhat foolish things the preachers 
try to make us believe ! They are darned fools when 
they preach such stuff. They had better go and 
bag their heads. I tell you the Bible is a sealed book. 
Who is worthy to loose the seal thereof? The Son 
of Man, Michael, the Prince of Peace, as Daniel calls 
him. Isaiah calls him Jacob. Revelation calls him 
a lion, the root of David of the tribe of Judah. Mal- 
achi calls him Elijah. Some speak of him as the 
Branch. Jeremiah calls him the battle axe. Others 
call him king. He is called by other names also. 

Now, all of Jesus' parables are likened to the 
kingdom of heaven. Dear friends, every parable 
has a, meaning by and by. Now, vfhen Jesus was 
here He did everything He could for the poor, the 
sick and the afflicted. Now, when He comes this 
time, the third time, He is coming to save the poor 
and the needy, and those that are in prison and 
they that are in the dark places of the earth, and 
to break the yoke of the rich (or money power). 
This servant Jacob will open the prison doors, lead 
the blind and comfort the afflicted— not for reward 
nor for price. May God hasten the day ! 

We will notice now what he says about the poor — 
I Samuel, second chapter, eighth verse : ''He raiseth 
up the poor out of the dust and lifteth up the beg- 
gar from the dung hill, to set them among princes, 
and to make them inherit the throne of glory.'' 
What does Nahum say about the poor — first chap- 
ter, last half of the twelfth verse and the thirteenth 
verse: ''Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict 
thee no more. 74 



''For now will I break his yoke (rich man's) and 
will burst thy bonds in sunder.'' 

What does Haggai say to the poor — first chapter, 
fifth and sixth verses : 

''Now therefore, thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
Consider your ways. 

''Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, 
but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not 
filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none 
warm ; and he that earneth wages, earneth wages to 
put it into a bag with holes." 

What does this mean? You work hard and make 
plenty for your employers, but he only gives you 
small wages. The wages you earn do not get 
enough to eat and drink. There is none left to buy 
warm clothes. Earneth vv^ages to put in a bag with 
holes in it. There are so many things to buy to 
make home a comfort that your wages are all gone 
before they get the necessities of life. Everything 
you buy, there are two or three drones who have to 
have some of it. Just notice a verse or two in 
James, fifth chapter, fourth verse: "Behold, the 
hire of the labourers which have reaped down your 
fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth; 
and the cries of them which have reaped are entered 
into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth." Seventh 
verse: "Be patient, brethren, unto the coming of 
the Lord." Just notice here what he says to the 
rich man, first six verses of James, fifth chapter. 
Just notice what Zechariah says to the poor, eighth 
chapter, thirteenth verse: "And it shall come to 

75 



pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen 
(rich people) house of Judah, and house of Israel ; 
so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear 
not, but let your hands be strong." 

Now, dear friends, let us reason with the Lord. 
I was once a little urchin, poor like the poorest, and 
am not much better yet. It only seems but a few 
years that I was a boy of twelve years old and had 
no father. I am sure there are boys and girls, now 
men and women, who can remember a little boot- 
black in the streets of Los Angeles in 1875 and 76. 
Come, let us reason with the Lord. Isaiah, first 
chapter, eighteenth verse — come now, let us reason 
with the Lord together. Saith the Lord, ^^ Though 
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as 
snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall 
be as wool." If ye be willing and obedient, you 
shall eat the good of the land. What is the judg- 
ment of the rich? Isaiah, third chapter, fourteenth 
verse — the spoil of the poor is in their houses. The 
man who gets dishonest riches — Isaiah, seventeenth 
chapter, eleventh verse. As the partridge setteth 
on eggs and hatch them not, so is he that getteth 
riches and not by right — shall leave them in the 
midst of his days and at his end shall be a fool. 
What shall the poor do to the rich? Isaiah, four- 
teenth chapter, second verse: ^'And the people 
shall take them and bring them to their" (rich) 
*' place: and the house of Israel shall possess them 
in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids : 
and they shall take them captives, whose captives 

1(i 



they were; and they shall rule over their op- 
pressors/' 

Isaiah, twenty-sixth chapter, fifth and sixth 
verses: ^^For he bringeth down them that dwell on 
high ; the lofty city he layeth it low ; he layeth it low 
even to the ground ; he bringeth it even to the dust. 

^^The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the 
poor, and the steps of the needy. ' ' 

What does the Psalmist say? ^'Blessed are the 
poor, meek and lowly, for they shall see the king- 
dom of Heaven." What does Jesus say? The first 
shall be last and the last first. Who are the Chris- 
tians? Nobody. But God knows who the Chris- 
tians are. Oh, how selfish the church members are ! 
They think they are going to heaven and that every- 
body else will go to hell sure. Now, dear Chris- 
tians, are you doing everything you can to help the 
poor and the afflicted? Such are Christians and 
nobody else. Do you vote for party principles that 
uphold this cursed liquor traffic? If you do, you 
are no Christian. But there are a great many peo- 
ple in this world who give one dollar, expecting to 
make two. If you do, you are no Christian. Who 
are the Christians? Jesus tells you who they are. 
^^If you are a Christian, keep my commandments. 
The least you do unto one of these, you do it unto 
me." Every one that helps the poor is a Christian, 
church member or no church member. What is his 
commandment? ^^Feed my sheep." Are you doing 
everything you can to help the people, or are you 
doing everything you can to skin them of every dol- 

n 



lar they have? The church would take the bread 
out of your mouth and then ask God to bless it. 
The church cares for nobody but itself. They like 
to make long prayers in the street (church) so peo- 
ple can hear them. What is the commandment to 
Jacob? Preach, not in the street (or public). Jesus 
tells us how to pray. ^'Go in your chamber and 
shut the door. Let not your left hand know what 
your right hand doeth. ' ' That is, you must not let a 
soul know when you pray. 

I know there are Christians among the church 
members. You are not responsible for what the 
church does. It was not for you to understand. 
Now, dear Christians, can't you give up the church 
to save those who are in darkness? God knows 
your heart. You would have done a great deal 
more if you had known how. It is God's way. God 
has purposed all things. God has been preparing the 
way for six thousand years. He knew from the be- 
ginning how things would be today. You probably 
have been looking for help for a long time. Did 
not Jesus tell you how to pray? May the kingdom 
come on earth as it is in heaven. I expect you have 
uttered the prayer every day in your life. Now, 
dear Christians, it is so much different than you ex- 
pected it. You must not get disheartened. Things 
are just as God knew they would be, so God is not 
going to blame any one. Your teachers have trans- 
gressed before you. But you must not think you 
are right and everybody else wrong. Now, just a 
word to the rich Christian. From what I have said, 

78 



you may think there are no rich Christians. I know 
there are plenty of them. You have done everything 
you could to help the poor and afflicted. Are you 
such a Christian as Job? God chastised him, took 
away all his wealth and his children, and yet he was 
a righteous man. He never rebelled, not once. I 
tell you it is an easy matter to be a Christian if you 
are rich, but to be a Christian and be poor, it is a 
hard thing to do. Can you give up everything you 
have and become a servant and then be a Christian 
still ? This time that is coming is going to try every 
rich Christian's heart. He is going to take away 
your riches from you this century, and you may be- 
come a servant. God says He will do this very 
thing. God gave Job back his riches, and more too. 
But He will not give yours back. All your wealth 
you have in houses, stocks and bonds you will lose. 
Then wall be your hour of temptation. God says 
these things must be. Now, dear Christians, you do 
not have to give up your Lord and Savior Jesus 
Christ. You ought to be proud of having such a 
God to love. The whole world has to come to Him. 
Let us notice Isaiah on this subject — forty-fifth 
chapter, twenty-third verse : ' ^ I have sworn by 
myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in right- 
eousness, and shall not return, that unto me every 
knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear." 

What did Jesus say? A prophet has no honor in 
his own country. What did Jesus say to the rich 
young man? Go and sell what you have and give 
it to the poor. It is easier for a camel to go through 

79 



the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter 
heaven. Now, dear Christian, you have to give up 
this idea of heaven; we will have it here on earth, 
which you have been praying for all your life. 
Where do we go after we die? We go to the spirit 
world. God only shows us three or four glimpses 
of the future. Now, spiritualism is handed down in 
the Bible. Spiritualists have a good foundation for 
their belief. You have to come to their ideas some- 
what. But they have to come to your Lord and 
Savior Jesus Christ. The reason they have made no 
more headway than they have, they have run it into 
the money business. They are just like the churches 
— try to get every dollar they can. It makes no 
difference how they get it. I said spiritualism was 
handed down in the Bible. Read I Samuel, twenty- 
eighth chapter, from seventh down to twentieth 
verse. Now, dear Christians, this is the exact state 
of the future beyond the grave. We have two ob- 
ligations to our God, — one when we put our head 
on our pillow, then thank God for His mercy, and 
when you awake up thank Him again, — ask Him for 
his guidance for the coming day, and what things 
you may ask of him; this is all He requires of you. 
He does not ask you to make any outward ceremony, 
such as family worship. Pray not before your chil- 
dren or any that may see you. 

Now, dear people, make things right with thy 
brother and it will be right with your heavenly 
Father. What does He want us to do? Zechariah, 
chapter eight, verses sixteen and seventeen: 

80 



' * These are the things that ye shall do ; speak ye 
every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the 
judgment of truth and peace in your gates; 

And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts 
against his neighbour; and love no false oath; for 
all these are things I hate, saith the Lord." 

"Where shall we worship when God wipes the 
church off the face of the earth. What does 
Zephaniah say about it, chapter two, verse eleven? 
'^The Lord will be terrible unto them: for he will 
famish all the gods of the earth ; and men shall wor- 
ship him^ every one from his place, even all the isles 
of the heathen. ' ' 

We shall all make a pilgrimage to the New Jeru- 
salem once in our lifetime, — Zeahariah, second chap- 
ter, verses ten, eleven and twelve. 

'^Sing and rejoice, daughter (church) of Zion 
(world) ; for lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst 
of thee, saith the Lord. 

'^And many nations shall be joined to the Lord 
in that day, and shall be my people : and I will dwell 
in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the 
Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee. 

'*And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in 
the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.'' 

Notice Zephaniah, chapter three, verses fourteen, 
fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen and 
twenty. 

''Sing, daughter of Zion; shout, Israel; be 
glad and rejoice with all the heart, daughter of 
Jerusalem. 

81 



'^The Lord hath taken away thy judgments, he 
hath cast out thine enemy: the King of Israel, even 
the Lord, is in the midst of thee ; thou shalt not see 
evil any more. 

^^In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, fear 
thou not ; and to Zion, let not thine hands be slack, 

' ' The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty ; 
he shall save, he will repoice over thee with joy; he 
will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with sing- 
ing. 

'^I will gather them that are sorrowful for the 
solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the re- 
proach of it was a burden. 

^^ Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict 
thee; and I will save her that halteth, and gather 
her that was driven out ; and I will get them praise 
and fame in every land where they have been put to 
shame. 

^^At that time will I bring you again, even in the 
time that I gather you : for I will make you a name 
and praise among all people of the earth, when I 
turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the 
Lord.'' 

Haggai, chapter two, verses seven and nine: ^^And 
I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations 
shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, 
saith the Lord of hosts. 

''The glory of this latter house shall be greater 
than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts ; and in 
this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.'" 

There will only be one church in the world. The 

82 



Lord is to be in the midst of it. This church is to 
be built in Southern California. Who is to build it? 
Jacob will lay the foundation of it and finish it. 
He is to be king over the whole world. 

^*But in the last days it shall come to pass, that 
the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be es- 
tablished in the top of the mountains, and it shall 
be exalted above the hills; and people shall floAV 
unto it. 

^^And many nations shall come, and say, come, 
and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and 
to the house of the God of Jacob ; and he will teach 
us of his w^ays, and we will walk in his paths : for 
the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the 
Lord from Jerusalem. 

'^And he shall judge among many people, and 
rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat 
their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into 
pruning-hooks : nation shall not lift up a sword 
against nation, neither shall they learn war any 
more. 

^^But they shall sit every man under his vine and 
under his fig tree ; and none shall make them afraid : 
for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it. 

^^For all people will walk every one in the name 
of his God, and we will walk in the name of the 
Lord our God for ever and ever. 

^^And thou, tower of the flock, the strong hold 
of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, 
even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to 
the daughter of Jerusalem. 

83 



''Now, why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no 
king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs 
have taken thee as a woman in travail. 

''Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, daugh- 
ter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now shalt 
thou go forth out of the city, and thou shall dwell 
in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; 
there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall 
redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies/' 

This is part of the fourth chapter of Micah. This 
is the new church of Christ. When this church is 
established Jews will return. Zechariah, eighth 
chapter, twenty-third verse: "Thus saith the Lord 
of hosts ; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten 
men shall take hold out of all languages of the na- 
tions, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a 
Jew, saying. We will go with you; for we have 
heard that God is with you. ' ' 

A few words to those that handle God's words. 
The second, third and fourth chapters of Malachi 
are directed to them. These three chapters are the 
most important of all the prophets. 

"Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and 
wonder marvelously : for I will work a work in your 
days, which ye will not believe, though it be told 
you.'' — ^Habakuk, first chapter, fifth verse. 

But the eyes of them that see shall understand 
these things. 

"Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye 
people : let the earth hear, and all that is therein ; the 
world and all things that come forth of it. 

84 



^'For the indignation of tlie Lord is upon all na- 
tions, and his fury upon all their armies : he hath ut- 
terly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the 
slaughter, ' ' — Isaiah, thirty-fourth chapter, first and 
second verses. 

''Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do 
justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my 
righteousness to be revealed." — Isaiah, fifty-sixth 
chapter, first verse. 

God's love for his people — Isaiah, sixty-sixth chap- 
ter, twelfth and thirteenth verses: ''For thus saith 
the Lord, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a 
river, and the glory of the gentiles like a flowing 
stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon 
her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. 

"As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I 
comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusa- 
lem." 

"And it shall come to pass, that from one new 
moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, 
shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the 
Lord." — Isaiah, sixty-sixth chapter, twenty-third 
verse. 

This is what is called the second coming of Christ. 
It is the third appearance. He is coming into every 
heart of mankind, to the whole world. 

3K Hi * 

I will now show you the inside meaning of the 
book Ezekiel, also of Daniel and part of Revelation. 
I think you will agree with me all through. Some 
of it will be hard to bear. And then I will show 

85 



you the meaning of Jesus ^ parables. The first chap- 
ter is a prophecy of the cars. The next three chap- 
ters and down to the fifth verse in the fifth chap- 
ter, God is speaking directly to his servant Jacob. 
In the fifth chapter, commencing at the fifth verse, 
God is speaking directly to the present church. In 
the sixth chapter God is speaking directly to the 
church and its followers. Chapter seven is to the 
man that buys and sells, or the speculator; directly 
to them as you notice in the twelfth and thirteenth 
verses. The eighth chapter — God shows Jacob the 
wickedness of the church — the present churches. 
Chapter nine — Jacob is destroying the churches. 
The tenth chapter is a prophecy of the horseless 
wagon or automobile. The eleventh chapter is to 
the people in the cities, such as the Chamber of 
Commerce, down to the thirteenth verse. From the 
thirteenth verse down to the twenty-second verse, 
he is speaking to the poor. The twelfth chapter 
tells of the cities becoming desolate, the working 
class of people leaving them and going into the coun- 
try. In the thirteenth chapter God is speaking di- 
rectly to the preacher, down to the seventeenth 
verse. In the balance of the chapter he is speaking 
to the church. The fourteenth chapter is directly 
to the church members. The fifteenth chapter — 
God will not spare church or church members. The 
sixteenth chapter speaks of the present church — 
the abomination of it. The seventeenth chapter 
down to the twenty-second verse speaks of the pres- 
ent church. He planted and it grew and became 

86 



very strong at first and then they began to make 
an idol or god out of it. Then God tore it down. 
And then from the twenty-second verse He estab- 
lishes the new church and the whole world believes 
in it. The eighteenth chapter — everybody must 
learn it my heart — it is the law after the desolation 
takes place. We will have the law then, and then 
you will be judged by this very chapter. The one 
that transgresses this law will die the second death 
and you will be no more. Rememt)er, your spirit 
. hangs on this very chapter. Chapter nineteen rep- 
resents the Jewish church and the present churches,. 
The first whelp was the Jewish church, the next is 
the present church. The twentieth chapter, — God 
is speaking directly to the Jews of this present day. 
The twenty-first chapter is a hard one to get at. 
At any rate you can figure it out yourselves. We 
notice in the first part of the chapter God is ready 
to devour both good and bad. The rich Christians 
will suffer the same as the other rich ones. It is 
pointed out to the business man or rich. You notice 
in the fourteenth verse it is the great man of the 
earth that is to be slain. The twenty-second chapter 
represents the cities. It shows what kind of peo- 
ple live there. God is going to destroy the cities and 
make them desolate. The tw^enty-third chapter rep- 
resents the churches. Samaria was the Jewish 
church; Jerusalem is the present church, as I have 
said before. The twenty-fourth chapter is judg- 
ment on the bloody city. When this comes to pass, 
you notice in the twenty-fourth verse, you will 

87 



know that ''I am the Lord God/' The twenty-fifth, 
twenty-sixth, twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth 
chapters were not written for this age of the world. 

The twenty-seventh chapter, — I take it to be the 
same city as Babylon in Revelation. Tyre must 
have been the largest city when this was written. 
When Eevelation was written Babylon was the larg- 
est. Then, the largest city in the world, today will 
see these things. The twenty-ninth, thirtieth, thirty- 
first and thirty-second chapters refer to England 
and all other nations. The thirty-third chapter, — 
Jacob shall warn the people. This chapter you must 
remember. The thirty-fourth chapter down to the 
seventeenth verse, — God is speaking directly to the 
preachers. From the seventeenth down He is speak- 
ing to the poor people. The thirt;y ^f if th chapter is 
the United States of America. The thirty-sixth, — 
He is speaking to the poor after the great desola- 
tion. The thirty-seventh chapter is the poor. The 
four hundred think the poor white trash is worth 
nothing. They are considered dead and have no 
power. That is what these bones represent. But 
God has heard their cry ; He is going to deliver them ; 
He is going to put sinews on them and make them 
strong, put skin on them and make them beautiful. 

I hope you have not forgotten what ''Ephraim" 
means. Ephraim represents the wicked man in the 
sight of man. Notice in the sixteenth and seven- 
teenth verses, he joins the poor and the wicked (as 
the people call them) together. These are the ones 
God is coming to save, — to feed the hungry and to 

88 



open the prison doors. The thirty-eighth and thirty- 
ninth chapters here represent the poor slaying the 
heathen or business man, and the balance of the book 
is the description of how to bnild the New Jerusalem. 
I will translate Daniel or the most of it. There 
is no need of going through every verse, but I will 
commence in the second chapter, thirty-ninth verse, 
— and the third kingdom of brass, that is England. 
Fortieth verse, — the fourth kingdom is the United 
States of North America. Notice in the forty-fourth 
verse. This is the kingdom God is going to estab- 
lish now. Next we notice down in chapter seven, 
down to the sixth verse, — the beast like a leopard is 
the United States of North America. The three 
horns that were plucked up are the Republican 
party, the Democratic party and the People's party. 
This little horn that grew up is this great Ameri- 
can enterprise, that will work the abomination of 
desolation (or fourth beast). The eleventh verse, — 
I beheld even till the beast was slain (the money 
power or the United States). The other beasts or 
nations lived awhile. Thirteenth verse, — the Son of 
Man (Jacob). Fourteenth verse, — his kingdom will 
be established forever. That is this kingdom that 
is to be now. Now we commence again anew at 
the twenty-fourth verse. Sixth verse in Daniel, 
chapter seven, — bear this in mind. The thirteenth 
chapter in Revelation is the United States of North 
America. You notice Daniel, seventh chapter, verse 
twnety-four, — and another king shall rise after 
them and he shall be diverse from the first, (first 

89 



beast was England). And has subdued three king- 
doms. 

Now, has not the United States subdued three 
kingdoms — England, Mexico and Spain? You no- 
tice in the twenty-fifth verse, time and times and 
the dividing of time. Dividing must be one-half of a 
time. I think this was meant from the time it was 
written, which I will prove in the last chapter of 
Daniel. Now, we must consider how much a time 
is. Just call time a thousand years. This was writ- 
ten about five hundred and sixty years before Christ. 
Now, if time is a thousand years in forty years that 
is, the United States will be no more in forty years 
from now as a government. Notice twenty-seventh 
verse, last clause — shall serve and obey him (God). 
This is the kingdom that God is going to establish 
by His servant Jacob. 

Now, I will have to leave Daniel awhile for the 
New Testament. Jesus told his disciples to preach 
the gospel to the whole world and then the end shall 
be when the gospel was preached to the end of the 
world. There was no need of any more daily sacri- 
fice. I have spoken so much about this abomina- 
tion of desolation. Now, when the churches are all 
done away with, of course, there will be no more 
need of money to preach the gospel. Eighth chapter 
of Daniel — you will notice the he-goat. First we 
must understand what the he-goat means. When 
Jacob sets up his kingdom (God's kingdom) he is 
going to do away with all speculators or people 
who are trying to make a living off of somebody 

90 



else's labor. They are the ones who are the he-goats. 
Now, you notice in chapter twenty-five, verse thirty- 
three, of Matthew. What does Jesus say in verse 
thirty-one? ''When the Son of Man shall come, he 
will separate the goats from the sheep." Who is 
the Son of Man. Nothing more than Jacob. He 
shall establish his throne of glory. 

I will go back to Daniel, eighth chapter, fourth 
verse. This ram is the United States. Had two 
horns — those horns represent political parties, the 
whig party and the tory party. The ram represents 
the people. The government when it started was 
run by the people, not by a lot of money-grabbers, 
as the trusts are today. The horn here represents 
the republican party. It smashed the two horns of 
the ram, that is, the whig and the tory parties were 
done away with, and the goat represents the specu- 
lator. You can understand what I mean, and then 
we have four little horns — democratic party, repub- 
lican party, the temperance party, and then the peo- 
ple 's party. Now, we are going to have another 
party come up out of them — the true party — which 
will wax great. He will tear down the stars and 
stripes in forty years and by him the daily sacrifice 
will be taken away, when you see this abomination 
of desolation. From the time this great American 
enterprise is set up in 2300 days the world will ac- 
knowledge it. That is, the sanctuary will be cleansed. 
Twenty-third verse — when the transgressors are 
come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and 
understanding dark sentences, shall stand up 

91 



(Jacob). Notice in tenth chapter, last verse: ^'But 
I will show thee that which is noted in the scripture 
of truth : and there is none that holdeth with me in 
these things, but Michael your prince." Who is 
Michael? Nobody but Jacob, God's servant. He 
will open the scriptures to the world. When the 
Son of Man cometh you will understand the doc- 
trines. 

The eleventh chapter is a very hard chapter to 
understand. I am not posted on history very much. 
In the second verse, — and the fourth shall be far 
richer than they all. That w^as the Roman Empire. 
Third verse, and a mighty king shall stand. That 
is England. She will be scattered before long. But 
in the times gone by, England's royal blood has mar- 
ried into other kingdoms and they have formed alli- 
ances or agreements to help one another;^ But they 
will not strengthen her in these times. Seventh 
verse, — but out of her roots shall one stand up in 
his estate. That is the United States. Then we had 
trouble with England again. Then the United States 
had trouble with Mexico. Then we had trouble at 
home. North against the South. Then, the eighteenth 
verse, — after this he shall turn his face to the isles 
and take many. Noav, has not the United States 
taken many islands? Then he shall stumble and 
fall and not be found. Then a raiser of taxes shall 
come and in a few days he shall be destroyed. That 
is the McKinley administration. But shall fall 
neither in anger nor in battle. Twenty-first verse, 
— a new party shall rise — come in with a flood and 

92 



obtain kingdoms by flattery, and this party will be- 
come strong. He shall enter in peaceably. That is, 
this great kingdom of God. Jacob, his servant, as 
King. Twelfth chapter, second verse, — the people 
will wake up out of their sleep and they will see 
where they are at ; the rich into shame and everlast- 
ing contempt, the poor into glory. Fourth verse, — 
seal this up. It has been sealed ever since it was 
written. At the end they shall understand. Knowl- 
edge, — what does Job say about knowledge? Job, 
thirty-second chapter, verse seven: *^I said, days 
should speak, and multitude of years should teach 
wisdom. ' ' I think it is time we were getting knowl- 
edge. It has been three thousand five hundred years 
since this verse was written. Sixth verse, — how 
long shall it be till the end of these wonders. It 
shall be for a time and a time and a half; as I said 
before, time is a thousand years. This was written 
five hundred and fifty years before Christ. Ac- 
cording to that two thousand five hundred years 
will be up, it will be finished in about fifty years. 
The wise shall understand (Jacob). 

'^Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet be- 
fore the coming of the great and dreadful day of 
the Lord." — Malachi, chapter four, verse five. 

Revelation, fourth chapter, — what do we see here? 
This the capital of the world after God has estab- 
lished his kingdom on this earth. The four hundred 
and twenty elders are the representatives of every 
country, nation and tongue on the face of the earth. 
Fifth chapter, — the book wdth seven seals is the 

93 



Bible. Jacob sits on the throne, — shows us the 
mysteries of God. Eleventh verse, — in the dimen- 
sions of this great state building — there is to be gal- 
lery upon gallery, and the people are giving glory to 
God. Fourteenth verse, — the four beasts are the 
treasurer, secretary, manager and superintendent. 
Here they transact the business of the world. Sixth 
chapter, — this is that great American enterprise at 
work. They are establishing their business all over 
the world. Every business man on the face of the 
earth was banished. We will have to understand 
what the number twelve stands for. We had twelve 
tribes of Israel, twelve apostles, Christ has appeared 
eleven times, this coming will make the twelfth ; then 
that must signify completeness or all, or represents 
every one and it is finished. And He has sealed 
twelve thousand of each tribe in chapter seven. This 
chapter represents that every one has acknowledged 
the Lord and they are now ready to have a thousand 
years of peace and happiness. Seventeenth verse — 
and God shall wipe all tears away from their eyes. 
Chapters eight and nine represent our trials and 
tribulations down to the present time — pestilences, 
famines, earthquakes, destruction of mankind, and 
great wars, disease of all kinds, robbers and thieves 
and murderers of all kinds. The seventeenth, 
eighteenth and nineteenth verses prophesy of these 
great cannons. There issued fire and brimstone out 
of their mouths, and their tail is what hurts. Tenth 
chapter, — after the transgression was full. He puts 
His spirit into His servant. He reads the Bible and 

94 



the mysteries of God are explained. You notice in 
the eleventh verse he must prophesy again before 
many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings. The 
eleventh chapter is too deep for me — time will tell. 
The twelfth chapter — the first verse means the 
world in pain, the people crying to be delivered, a 
child was born, the son of man. This great red 
dragon was ready to devour him. This cursed liquor 
traffic and the devices that follow. The wicked 
ways of the world. And brought forth a man child 
who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. God 
took him up to His throne, showed him the mys- 
teries of the hereafter, and after he prophesied be- 
fore many peoples, tongues, and nations, and in three 
years and a half, and the war began (verse sov^en) 
and the dragon prevailed not, and the wicked peo- 
ple were cast off the earth (heaven) ; old serpent 
called the devil and Satan (the money) which de- 
ceiveth the whole world — he was cast out into the 
earth (money) and all his angels with him (the peo- 
ple that are grasping for riches are his angels). 
Thirteenth chapter, the first three verses---are Eng- 
land, one oi the heads was wounded and the head 
was healed and the whole world wandered after the 
beast, and they worshipped the dragon that gives 
her power. What gives her power? Nothing but 
her money. The people worship money nowadays. 
Old England is Yerj powerful. Who is able to make 
war with lier? Fifth verse, last clause — power was 
given him to continue forty and tvv^o months and 
he (England) opened his mouth and blasphemed 

95 



God and His tabernacle and them that dwell on 
earth (heaven), tenth verse. That in captivity must 
go into captivity ; he that kills with the sword must 
be killed with a sword. England has done all this. 
Her fate is sure to come. 

Eleventh verse — another beast with two horns like 
a lamb. This is the United States. The two horns 
are independent and free government represented 
by a lamb, pure and innocent. When our govern- 
ment was first hatched out. Now England's wound 
is healed and they go hand in hand (money power) 
and the people make images and worship. These 
images are the republican party and other parties. 
Every one that does not believe as they do should 
be killed. Did not the Eepublican party kill all other 
parties put together the 6th of last November, 1900? 
Sixteenth verse — the government has made laws so 
any one, rich or poor, can form a trust. Seventeenth 
verse, — that no man might buy or sell except those 
that have the mark (or trust). Now, if we buy 
anything we have got to buy of the trust. If we 
sell anything we have got to sell to them. The 
number of trusts is 666, that is, a trust on every- 
thing. The fourteenth chapter is a mixed up chap- 
ter. The first thirteen verses — the desolation has 
taken place and the world is praising God. The 
fourteenth and fifteenth verses — God said time 
should be no longer, the harvest is ripe, the trans- 
gression is full. Now God is going to reap the 
fruits of His labor; and sixteenth verse — He did 
reap the fruit of His labor that He has been wait- 

96 



ing for for over six thousand years. The eighteenth, 
nineteenth and twentieth verses — His wrath upon 
the wicked, He has cleansed the earth. The fifteenth 
chapter — the whole world is filled with the glory of 
God and God's word had been revealed. Fourth 
verse, sixteenth chapter — this beast that is and is 
not, and yet is, is our imagination of the devil. His 
image is the money that people are grasping after. 
They worship it. Fourth, fifth and sixth verses — ■ 
He has judged those that have laid up great riches. 
He has given sorrow for sorrow (or blood). Seventh 
verse down to fifteenth verse are the agonies of the 
rich. This is what they will say, and twelfth verse, 
the waters dried up, their business has failed that 
they were in; they furnish no more bread whereby 
they have been robbing the people (the poor). 

The fifteenth verse — behold, I come as a thief. 
He is going to take the wealth away from them. It 
will vanish before their eyes and they will stand 
and curse God. Oh, how many are there in this 
world that are asleep ! Did not He say He would 
shake this world like it never was before, and never 
will be again hereafter? Twenty-first verse — this 
plague will be great upon those that have laid up 
great wealth and mankind cannot stand under it. 
They are beat down as hail beating leaves off a 
bush. Seventeenth chapter — this means Queen Vic- 
toria. You notice in the verses down to the seventh. 
I will prove it to you. Which had seven heads and 
ten horns. You notice in thirteenth chapter, first 
verse, is the same as it is here. In seventh verse, 

97 



seven heads and ten horns. Now, the United States 
came out of her roots as I have explained lieretof ore. 
Power was given to her to continue 402 (or forty 
and two months), and going into perdition in 1955. 
England will be no more. Then she will go down 
into history (or perdition). Ninth verse — seven 
mountains ; now mountains are great countries. Now 
she sits on them, that is, she rules over seven great 
countries. Now, does not England rule over seven 
great countries — British Europe, British Asia, Brit- 
ish Isles, British Africa, British North America and 
Australia? Tenth verse — there are seven kings — 
five are fallen, the seventh has not come, the eighth 
is going to perdition ; that will be the last king Eng- 
land will have. Tenth verse — when he cometh, he 
(Edward VII) continues a short while. Twelfth 
verse — ten kings ; they had no kingdom. This beast 
that is and is not, is the money power. The ten 
kingdoms (or great money power) that signed The 
Hague treaty, they had one hour with the beast. 
You know it says in the Bible, one day is as a thou- 
sand years with the Lord. Now, if one day is a 
thousand years, one hour must be forty-two years — 
forty-two years from the time The Hague treaty 
was signed it will be scattered to the four winds of 
the earth. The eighteenth verse explains it pretty 
well — which reigneth over the kings of the earth. 
The eighteenth chapter — Babylon is London. Notice 
the fourth verse — this verse is directly to the people 
that live in London — come out of her, if you do not 
want the plague to fall on you. Here is warning 



from God. She will not be spared, not a soul, if they 
do not come out of her. This is a direct command 
to those that live there. It is sure to come this cen- 
tury. Twenty-first verse — the fate of the city after 
she is burned, the waves will wash over her. Nine- 
teenth chapter — you can understand it down to the 
tenth verse. After the great city is destroyed every 
soul on earth will worship God. Twenty-first verse 
— the sword proceeded out of his mouth. Whose 
mouth? Jacob's, God's servant. God's word which 
he spake is the sword. The twentieth chapter, first 
three verses — this old dragon, or Satan, is nothing 
but money. Gold and silver are g>oing to be done 
away with this century as money. It will all be 
locked up in a great vault. Does not the prophet 
say Jacob will have power over gold and silver? 
The fourth verse dow^n to the seventh — the millen- 
nium begins, we have peace and happiness on earth 
a thousand years. The rest of the dead lived not. 
Who are they? The wicked ways of man are dead, 
that is heaven here on earth. All things (or ways) 
are to become new ; the old ways are no more. This 
is the first resurrection. The world is redeemed out 
of the depths of hell. For such the second death 
has no power. They will not be judged by the 
law. After the thousand years we will use gold 
and silver as money, but the people will not have 
it then; it will be melted and used for other pur- 
poses ; that is the second death to Satan and he will 
be no more. Now, when we begin to read Revela- 
tion — these things must come to pass here on earth. 

99 



It just signifies what will happen to those that do 
not keep the law of Moses and the ten command- 
ments, and the new commandment, which is, ^^Thou 
shalt withhold thy pleasures from the Sabbath day.'' 
The twenty-first chapter is the New Jerusalem 
which is to be established between the two great 
seas in the low lands in a low place, and fruit every 
month in the year. Does not this hit Southern Cali- 
fornia ? The ninth verse — the bride the Lamb 's wife. 
The Lamb is Jesus Christ, the bride is the new 
church of Christ which is to be established. The 
seventh and eighth verses are the two greatest verses 
in the Bible. They should be remembered. Eemem- 
ber, after this great desolation takes place, then we 
will have the law, then we will be judged by the 
law. The eighth verse — they are the ones. God has 
given you plenty of warning. Nobody has been 
lost and nobody will be lost, for he says that every 
knee will bow in that day. God says these things 
must shortly come to pass. Then the world shall 
know doctrine; the wise shall understand; the fool 
shall be cut off. I wonder what these fellows that 
believe in Darwinism will think. They will degen- 
erate; they will be the monkeys.

CHAPTER IV. 

I will turn to the parables of Jesus Christ. First, 
we will notice Matthew, fifth, sixth and seventh 
chapters — the sermon on the mount. This is your 
guidance in the future. This sermon is direct from 
God ; no false preacher. Notice whait Jesus tells the 
people — Matthew, twelfth chapter, eighteenth, nine- 
teenth, twentieth and twenty-first verses. Thirteenth 
chapter, twenty-fourth verse — this parable is what 
Jacob will do. The harvest is ripe now. Thirty-first 
verse likens the kingdom of heaven to a mustard 
seed. "When this great American enterprise begins 
it will only be one, his servant Jacob; finally it 
covers the whole world. Thirty-third verse — when 
the kingdom of heaven starts it will swell and swell 
till there is no room for any others. Thirty-sixth 
verse down to the forty-third verse is what is going 
to happen now. The forty-fourth verse is as the 
rich will do now. Give what they have to the poor 
so they can have a house not made with hands, but 
the treasure of God in their hearts. The forty-fifth 
verse — the meaning is the same as the forty-fourth 
verse. The forty-seventh verse is just what his 
servant will do when he comes. Just notice the 
seventeenth verse down to the twentieth, sixteenth 
chapter — God is speaking directly to His servant 
Jacob. Seventeenth chapter, eleventh verse — Elias 
will come and restore all things (Jacob . The twen- 
ty-third verse and the balance of the chapter rep- 

101 



resent the business man of today. The thirty-fifth 
verse likewise is going to punish the rich man who 
has made slaves of the poor. 

The twentieth chapter down to the seventeenth 
verse — what does this teach? It teaches us that we 
should hire the idle and those that need work and 
live up to what we agree to. This parable is like 
unto the kingdom of heaven. When Jacob starts 
this great American enterprise, he will hire the idle 
and those that need work. Chapter twenty-one, 
thirty-first verse — whom was Jesus speaking to here ? 
He was speaking to the rich and those that handled 
the law of God. He meant this very time now. 
Forty-first verse — God is going to punish those very 
fellows this time. Twenty-second chapter — God has 
made his feast ready now and nobody will come but 
the poor and the bad. Many will be called and but 
few will respond. Twenty-fifth chapter down to the 
fourteenth verse — Oh, how many are like the foolish 
virgins of today! Are you ready for the Son of 
Man to come ? Oh, how many are asleep — have laid 
up riches to vanish before their eyes! The four- 
teenth verse — how is it like the kingdom of heaven ? 
When this servant Jacob comes, this is the way he 
will do business. Chapter twenty-six, forty-fifth 
verse — He told them to sleep and they have been 
sleeping ever since. Do you suppose God is going 
to punish them hereafter, after telling them to sleep 
on? Never. Jesus died for ALL, that none might 
be lost. But if we disobey the laws of our country 
we will be punished here on earth. Those that have 

102 



robbed the poor must expect to be punished. Then 
they say, ''How have we robbed the poor?*' By 
trying to beat them out of their wages ; banks break 
and they lose all their earnings; swindling them in 
different ways by putting a vast amount of capital 
together and cornering the market, and they make 
twenty-five per cent to fifty per cent, sometimes a 
hundred per cent. This is robbing the people. This 
gambling in stocks is the biggest robbery on earth, 
but our government upholds it. Don't you suppose 
God will punish that class? I John, twenty-fifth 
verse — These things have I spoken to you in 
Proverbs, but the time cometh when I shall no more 
speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you 
plainly of the Father. 

John, fifteenth chapter, twenty-sixth verse — ^^But 
when the Comforter is come whom I will send unto 
you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which 
proceedeth from the Father, he shail testify of me." 
John, sixteenth chapter, seventh and eighth verses — 
"Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient 
for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the 
Comforter will not come unto you ; but if I depart, 
I will send him unto you. 

^^And when he is come, he will reprove the world 
of sin, and of righteousness and judgment. '^ 

Luke, ninth chapter, twenty-sixth verse — '^For 
whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, 
of him shall the Son of Man (Jacob) be ashamed, 
when he shall come in his own glory, and in his 
Father's, and of the holy angels." Forty-eighth 

103 



verse, last clause — ^^for he that is least among you 
all, the same shall be great.'' 

What did Jesus say unto the lawyers — eleventh 
chapter, forty-sixth verse: ''And he said. Woe unto 
you also, ye lawyers ! for ye laden men with burdens 
grevious to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not 
the burdens with one of your fingers.'' 

Verse fifty — ''That the blood of all the prophets, 
which was shed from the foundation of the world, 
may be required of this generation" (the lawyers). 

Luke, chapter twelve, fortieth verse — "Be ye 
therefore ready also : for the Son of Man cometh 
at an hour when ye think not." Forty-first verse: 
' ' Then Peter said unto him. Lord speakest thou this 
parable unto us ; or even to all ? " Fifty-sixth verse 
— Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky 
and of the earth ; but how is it that ye do not discern 
this time?" Fifty-ninth verse — "I tell thee thou 
shalt not depart thence till thou hast paid the very 
last mite." Whom does Jesus mean here? The rich 
man. Jesus shows all the way through His work, 
here and there, of this time coming. He warns all 
that handle the law. He condemns them yet. Our 
preachers do not preach it. It shows plainly what 
the world must expect some day. Every one must 
come to Christ's teachings or they will be lost when 
the desolation comes. First, Moses warned them; 
then by many prophets ; then by Jesus Himself, and 
they crucified Him on the cross. Then, can you ex- 
pect to get off without some punishment? As you 
have robbed, you must be robbed. 

104 



The world says, ''Why did God love Jacob and 
hate Esau?'' In those days the oldest would receive 
all the property. Esau traded his birthright off and 
they have been trading ever since. God hates the 
speculator. He is going to punish him. The rich 
have traded off their birthright by speculating on 
some other one's labor; therefore that is why God 
hated Esau. Jacob represents the poor and God 
has blessed him, and He is going to bless the poor 
also. The infidel says the Bible contradicts itself 
in many places. It says in one place that a man's 
iniquities shall be upon his own head, and in an- 
other place, the iniquities of the fathers would ex- 
tend to the third and fourth generation. Who is 
the wicked man in the sight of God? I have tried 
to show you. Well, if he is the wicked one, his 
wealth will only extend to the fourth generation. 
Nearly all will be gone at the third generation. 
Does it contradict itself here? Not when you come 
to find out who the wicked man is in the sight of 
God. Now, the house of Jacob represents the poor 
and the bad, and God has blessed them, or will bless 
them, and curse them whereby they got their dis- 
honest gains. 

I have said Ephraim was the wicked one in the 
sight of man. Ephraim was the younger brother 
of the two, Manasseh was the older. He had the 
birthright again, but Jacob blessed Ephraim the 
younger, who had no inheritance, but Jacob crossed 
his hands and blessed Ephraim. Now, Jacob and 
Ephraim both received the blessing from God. Now, 

105 



God is going to bless them both, the poor and those 
that are shut up in prison. What is Jacob to do? 
He is to open the prison doors and let his brothers 
out, without reward and without price. He will 
exalt the poor and abase the high. He that is first 
shall be last and the last first, in God's kingdom. 

To the poor and those that are shut up in prison — 
be of good courage; God has heard your cries. 
Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no 
more ; I will make you ruler over your enemies, and 
they shall be your servants. I have redeemed you, 
though you know it not; though your sins be as 
scarlet, they shall be as snow; though they be like 
crimson, they shall be as wool. Turn unto Him and 
He will turn unto you, though your sins are many, 
but His hands are stretched out still. Isaiah, ninth 
chapter, twenty-first verse. 

To the spiritualists — notice Revelation, second 
chapter, nineteenth verse — as I have said from the 
eighteenth verse and the rest of the chapter, is the 
spiritualist. Notice twenty-fifth verse — Hold fast 
to your belief till He comes, and He will show you 
all things. All that is the matter with the spirit- 
ualists is that they deny the Almighty, the God of 
heaven and earth, as their Creator. You must take 
the teachings of Jesus Christ as the Savior of the 
world. You do not have to give up your belief as 
to the hereafter. It is what the world will have to 
come to. But you must come to God with all your 
heart, and you have the balance. Notice verses 
twenty-six, twenty-seven and twenty-eight. You 

106 



ought to be proud. The one that is to rule the world 
is to come out of this church. 

I was born and raised a spiritualist and am not 
ashamed of it. Turn to God and let Him lead you 
the rest of your days, and you will be able to do 
greater things than you have ever done. But you 
must not make merchandise out of it as you have 
done heretofore. Give it to the world free, that 
they can see. We must quit trying to make a living 
off of somebody else's labor. Peace, peace, my peace 
I give unto you. Remember the desolation. We 
will have the law then. Then we will be judged by 
the law. 

To the Christians and those that belong to differ- 
ent churches — you ought to be proud of your church. 
As you read in Revelation, second chapter, the first 
church in Asia (fifth verse), the candlestick that 
holds the light of the world, the Bible, the true God 
and Savior Jesus Christ. As I have said, God only 
knows the true Christian. The church was to give 
the light to the world. God knew what it would 
take to preach the gospel to the world. It had to 
be preached through the greed of gain and no other 
way. You have done your part and you will be re- 
warded for the same. The world has heard of the 
gospel of Christ. Jesus did not tell His apostles to 
convert the world. He said preach the gospel to 
the world and feed my sheep. They have fed them- 
selves and let their flocks wander. Everything is as 
God knew it would be, but His desire was that all 
should be good. God has planned everything for 

107 



good. We have many denominations of churches. 
God meant that there should be. Some would be 
good in one church and some in another, even if 
they had to have a little church of their own. 

Now, dear Christians, don't you know there are 
folks in this world if they could do away with the 
churches they would be Christians? Now, cannot 
you give up the church that the world may be saved? 
The gospel has been preached to the world, now for 
the harvest. God has purposed all these things. It 
was not for us to know His ways. You are not to 
blame if you did not know these things. Your 
teachers have transgressed; your forefathers have 
sinned. I said God purposed everything — Isaiah, 
chapter forty-six, verses nine, ten and eleven ; Isaiah, 
chapter fourteen, verses twenty-four and twenty- 
seven. 

Money is the devil. God says in Revelation that 
he will claim and bind Satan, the old dragon or 
devil, a thousand years. If we do away with the 
money, we will do away with all wickedness on the 
face of the earth. Now, when we do away with the 
money, we do away with all things that take money ; 
so God had to plan some way out of it ; that is why 
the churches have to go with everything else. 
Everything has been done as God planned it. If 
God has planned it, He is not going to punish any 
one after he is dead. Jesus paid the penalty. The 
time has come for a change and it will be a greater 
change than there was when Christ appeared on 
earth. 

108 



Now, dear Christians, I have said a whole lot 
about the church, but I have not condemned the 
Christian, unless he is a rich one. But God is going 
to try the rich Christian as he did Job. There must 
be what I have said. I have taken it all from God's 
OYv^ words. God has been preparing the way for 
six thousand years. God never intended to let the 
Jews rule the earth. The Jewish people were chosen 
only that through them, through all ages, the world 
would be educated. God has been watching over us 
all the time. Everything is for our good. He planned 
this great nation of ours ; through it the world will 
be delivered. Let us thank God that we have a free 
government. The voice of the people should rule. 
If things do not go as we all would like them, 'tis 
God's hand that leadeth us. Everything is for the 
best. We had to have a strong nation that the 
world would be afraid of. "We will be stronger 
still. The whole world must be free and independ- 
ent. We had to have the open door policy with all 
nations, so when this great American enterprise 
starts it can go into all countries, and they have got 
to protect it. If they do not let it come into their 
countries, they will have no rain. In a few years 
the voice of the people will run this nation. The 
Eepublican party is good enough, but the wrong 
stamp of men are running it. It will be only a few 
years before the world will realize what I am writing 
about. Then they will know there has been a prophet 
among them. You will not believe, though it be 
told you. 

109 



Isaiah, chapter forty-two, fourteenth verse — ^^I 
have long time holden my peace; I have been still, 
and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travail- 
ing woman; I will destroy and devour at once. I 
have sworn by myself, the w^ord has gone out of my 
mouth in righteousness and shall not return; that 
unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall 
confess.'' 

Why has God waited so long and caused so much 
suffering? He says these things must needs be. 
First, the world has to be filled up with people. 
Every nation and country had to be conquered and 
educated, more or less, and it all had to be done 
through the greed of gain. The world had to be 
educated through the greed of gain. All these great 
inventions had to come about through the greed of 
gain. Science, as they call it, is nothing but schem- 
ing to get rich. We had to have all these railroads, 
telegraph and telephone and everything in science. 
We have them all now. They all had to come through 
the greed of gain, But they have run at the expense 
of the laborer. Now God is going to give them to 
the people, to those that labor to make the burden 
lighter. God said He would shake the world like 
it never was before, as mighty earthquakes, thunder 
and lightning. And uttered His voice with thunder- 
ing. This little book is what will wake and shake 
the world — God's word and truth. He said the sun, 
moon and stars would be darkened, and then a little 
while and they would give double light. The people 
must not expect those things. He says in that day 

110 



He would not speak in parables. The sun, moon 
and stars represent the Bible. The Bible is the light 
of the world. The sun, moon and stars failed to 
give light, so has the Bible failed to give the world 
light. In a little while the sun, moon and stars 
would give double their light, so the Bible \^dll give 
double its light to the world. Almost everything 
that Jesus said points to this great time that is 
coming. 

What does Jesus say in Mark, chapter three, twen- 
ty-eighth and twenty-ninth verses? ^^ Verily I say 
unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons 
of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall 
blaspheme ; 

^^But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy 
G-host (the word of truth) hath never forgiveness, 
but is in danger of eternal damnation." 

Mark, fourth chapter, twenty-second verse : ^^For 
there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested ; 
neither was anything kept secret, but that it should 
come abroad.'' 

Mark, fourth chapter, twenty-eighth and twenty- 
ninth verses: ^'For the earth bringeth forth fruit 
of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that 
the full corn in the ear. 

*'But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately 
he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is 



come.'' 



Now the harvest is ripe and He is going to gather 
His fruit of His labor. The world will know He is 
the Lord of all. Why did God command us not to 

111 



eat pork? Because He thought if we ate hog we 
would become as a hog. They did not obey His 
command and the people have been hogs ever since, 
and the biggest hog gets the most. Why are people 
like hogs? The more they get the more they want. 
Now, Jesus cast out devils and He wanted to know 
what their names were, and He said Legion. Just 
so now, there are legions of devils. They wanted 
to go into swine, and they ran down and drowned 
themselves. Just so now, all the devils and hogs 
will be drowned together. 

What did Jesus tell them to beware of? Mark, 
chapter twelve, verses thirty-eight, thirty-nine and 
forty: ^^And he said unto them in his doctrine, Be- 
ware of the scribes, which love to go in long cloth- 
ing, and love salutations in the market-places, 

^^And the chief seats (front pews) in the syna- 
gogues (churches), and the uppermost rooms at 
feasts ; 

^' Which devour widows' houses, and for a pre- 
tence make long prayers : these shall receive greater 
damnation. ' ' 

Jesus has foretold ail things. Micah, seventh 
chapter, second verse : ^ ' The good man is perished 
out of the earth ; and there is none upright among 
men : they all lie in wait for blood ; they hunt every 
man his brother with a net.'' The best man is as a 
brier; the most upright is sharper than a thorn 
hedge. Micah, seventh chapter, fourth verse. 

Habakkuk, second chapter, third verse: ''For the 
vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end 

112 



it shall speak, and not lie : tKough it tarry, wait for 
it : because it will surely come, it will not tarry. ' ' 

Zechariah, fifth, chapter, third verse: ^^This is 
the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole 
earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off 
as on this side according to it; and every one that 
sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according 
to it." 

^^I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and 
it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into 
the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name : 
and it shall remain in the midst of his house. ' ' 

This great and terrible punishment is the first 
judgment upon mankind, and the rest of the dead 
lived not again for a thousand years. Who are the 
dead spoken of here? The wicked ways of man. 
Blessed are they that have part in the first judgment, 
that is, they that have gone on before the great deso- 
lation. After the desolation they will be judged 
according to their works. They that do wickedness 
have part in the second judgment, which is the sec- 
ond death, and they shall be no more. I do not 
know what will happen after the thousand years 
of peace and happiness. 

Did the psalmist look way down to this time 
coming? He surely did. When this all happens 
and God establishes His kingdom, and the world 
is happy and at rest, then we can understand the 
Psalms and why they were written. Praise the God 
of Jacob, for His mercies endureth forever; keep 
the law of Moses and remember the new command- 
ment, and the Lord will do the rest.
